Dr. Venter: you keep entering these images and soon you will be acknowledge for your good judgment and presentation. Congratulations on your 15th placing. Top 20 is always good.
Magical. You picked a good time of night for this. The car streaks are not overpowering - and the sky reatined a ghood bit of color. Neat landmark too.
The colors and light blur are interesting. Definitely an interesting structure considering the bits of modern architecture showing in the background. It might have been improved a bit by showing more of the surroundings to contrast the subject. Great exposure and focus.
like the lighting you selected -- sets the mood well... like the modern buildings for contrast (know they cannot be avoided by one of left detracts from overall effect) One of my favorites this challenge
Excellent night photo here, very interesting gate. They don't build them like that anymore. Only think tha should have been done (I think) is a little more cropping on the bottom, the speeding car lights at the bottom are very distracting. Instead of the photo drawing me towards the gate it's looking down at the pretty lights. Other then that excellent work.
Great shot. Good color on the greens on the upper part of the gate. The cropping feels a bit close too me, but otherwise high marks. If you are there on a trip, enjoy the photo ops - lots of good opportunities.
