A 15 second exposure around 1:30. The night was perfectly still and a faint light on the sky casted a blue glow on the sea. Not much to do here but find a good spot for the tripod. :)

This photograph is incredibly well taken and implemented and I can barely think of anything wrong with it. I think your use of your camera is excellent and couldn't have been photographed better. The colours in particular are especially brought out by your 15 second exposure which was certainly a wise choice.
There are just a couple of composition elements that I think may have been slightly improved. The reflection on the first 'trident' of the sculpture distracts the viewer from those amazing colours and slightly ruins the dark and cool mood that this image conveys. The light on the left in the foreground is also a distracting element that could be removed by placing your tripod at a slightly different POV.
Otherwise, great DOF, great camera expertise and you should certainly be happy with your 4th place.
Thank you all! Well I was really hoping for a ribbon but scores were unusally high this time, great challange. My first score over 7!! I'm very glad you people liked it. I will probably take part in more challenges from now on since my exams are almost over. Thanks again!!! :D

Til hamingju með 4. sætið Hrannar! Og glæsileg mynd hjá þér, þó þetta teljist eflaust klisja hérna á klakanum, þá fíla greinilega þessir útlendingar þetta ;) hehe
Amazing colors! The scultpure does not do much for me (maybe a different angle or a different crop would be better). But I do like the reflection of th left side of the scultpure in the water. Did I mention that the colors are great? :)
Nice subject! I've seen it before in a photo, just forgot where, it was on this site though. Very nicely done, the sky looks beautiful and so does the city in the background.
