Shooting in the dark is hard, but if there had been any way to get rid of the grain, that would have helped this image. Perhaps a tripod and an even longer long exposure would have allowed you to lower the ISO and eliminate the grain. Also, the colors could use some slight adjustments perhaps... but maybe that's just me. :) I really like the whole idea here though, and the composition and point of view is superb!
Thank you for the votes - This was my first challenge so I am thrilled with the result, grateful for the helpful comments and excited about future pictures. So pleased to have found DP site. It's great!
The darker parts of this photo look grainy to me. It's a lovely building! Very nicely in focus, good detail. There is one bright light (probably not much to do about it) that's kind of distracting.
Very nice subject and a pretty good shot, overall. I have only 2 things to point out: i would have like to see a bit more of the sky, enabling me to see the whole monument, and a bit less of the foreground;
and that light near the door is completely blown out, which is a turn off... I dont know how you could have got rid of it, once the rest of the image has just the right ilumination/exposure.
Good job, anyway.
The choice of color balance doesn't seem to work well, and that bright white flare is very distracting. Nice building, though, and I like the lighting on the leftmost tower. A shot of that alone would probably have been superior.
