I like on how the water reflection below spreads its lights.

The lines are good and the overall composition is good, but it leaves me wanting for some reason.

I would clone out those "bubbles" in the water in the lower left...I find those distracting. Like others have mentioned, it has some nice qualities, but I'm most interested in the mysterious 'blue light.' Maybe a tighter crop to focus more on that?

I'm torn about the light reflection. I feel that the yellow lights reflection takes away from the rest of the image. It dominates the images, IMO.

I think the composition is good and I like the yellow and blue lights.....can you soften the reflection in the water? I think that would bring the blue light out more and make your eyes travel further back into the image.

IMO the water is a distraction since it is no where near as interesting as the immediate light on land (crop close to edge leaving blue and yellow light reflection) and I would most likely crop the top to force the focus on the great color and shape of light in the middle.

MMMKKK How about this? Is this close to what you mean? Is that light pole at the top too distracting as well? I have another shot where I was farther to the left and didn't include the light pole but it's a little off center compared to the original photo.

Whilst I enjoyed the reflection, the last version looks better as we can now concentrate on following those lead in lines which ultimately makes for a more fulfilling jouney of discovery.
