Great golden tones, very sharp, excellent exposure and the kids are a nice touch, after all (first I found them distracting, but then, I think they add to the scene).
Tim, this is incredible. Especially after I found out from where you photographbed it. I took a 256 mb card full of photos from GW Park for this challenge and not one turned out. The sun was in the wrong place. What length of telephoto did you use? Excellent! Something to stive for. Jo Ann
excellent nighttime cityscape... The silhouetted people in the lower left corner add a very nice touch to this shot... I don' t particularly like the large amount of darkness in this photo along the bottom... did you shoot any of this same scene without that? I suppose that was a tradeoff to have the people in the shot :) - setzler
Great shot, well done! To my opinion the best "city by night" - picture in this challenge. The people in the foreground are meaningfully inserted into the scene and they are additional increasing the high quality of this photo. - nds - 10
the folks are a great - i am glad you didnt ccrop them out - because they lend to participationl of the viewer - the golden color is strong and my eye craves the blue and blk of nite - but it works well as a cast of golden incandescent effect - great pic! 9 sgtpepper6344
i love skylines and water, and this is a very nice nightshot of both. the yellows look warm and inviting and are nicely reflected in the water. the sillhouettes of the people adds to the scale of things. i can almost imagine myself sitting there with them, philosophising about life and such. challenge met -- yes composition / appeal -- good technical -- good overall -- 9 gr8photos :)
