Black areas a bit too black for my taste, but other than that a pretty good lighting shot.

Nice shot, but with expert editing, I would have cloned out the houses and lights. I think this would have a much more dramatic effect. 7

Nice shot - Like the tones - These shots are hard and I appreciated you getting this - I think cropping out the lower house really adds some impact to this.Try it I think you might agree?
