Couldn't resist going out a few days ago and shooting some downtown shots at night. It was crystal clear out and the bay was almost like glass.

Would love to hear opinions, thoughts, suggestions...they were both taken with Canon 40D and the EF-50mm 1.8 II lens.

Thanks.

#2 really jumps off the screen...excellent.

#1 has me scratching my head because the reflection doesn't exactly match the skyline. Most noticeably, the large green patch on the water. Where's its source in the skyline? ???

Beautiful images.

Thanks for the comments. I applied a NIK filter (Indian Summer) to the top one and i think that took a bit away from the overall colors on the skyline itself. I also stitched a pano (7 shots) of some of the shots i took and this can be seen here.

Both cool shots, I think #2 wins for being that bit different!
