That's really quite beautiful. I like it a lot. A question: would it have been even better with a tad less exposure? The white light highlights are very hot (burned out), but of course, some of that is probably unavoidable in a night shot. Just asking.

Nice, a tad fuzzy. I love doing these shots. Great colors. I love the multiple colors reflected in the water. The photo could be sharpened up. How long was this exposure for?


Step back please... I'm armed with a camera...

Great shot I love the colors. If you are able to take this shot over take it just before it really turns dark about 1 hr or so after sunset here in the states. and you may be able to get a blue sky instead of blank empty sky depending on which way you were facing. my 2cts

I love it! But I would have cropped it and kept only the buildings with colored light myself
