Photo I took of the 250 million candlepower lights on Niagara Falls. I reminds me (a bit) of the Rising Sun flag. If only I were not too lazy to take the photo when the lights were red.

Pretty cool picture. Reminds me of the same thing. You could always do a selective red on the lights with a layer and use a brush over the rest to preserve the color. Or you could just leave it because it looks neat anyways. Nice shot.

Oh, very unusual shot. I like it, very surreal. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting shot. Nice composition.

The image looks a little flat, the histogram is bunched to the left. If you open it in PS and do an auto-levels adjustment you will get an AMAZING result. The pinks in the sky will come out and the light will be much brighter and clearer. Let me know if you would like to see a post of it.

This is just what auto-levels looks like :-)

Thanks. :) I did not touch the photo for fear of over-processing it, which I do often. A simple auto adjustment was all it needed.
