This was taken on the night of the 2009 induction ceremony. The ceremony is usually held in New York City, but this year it was held in Cleveland for the first time since 1997. As a result the interior of the hall was lit up more than usual.

This is exactly what I was hoping someone would post in that thread. I need to see photos like this so I know what my ultimate goal is in shooting night scenes. Thanks for sharing!
I really thought that I would see this with the blue ribbon proudly displayed underneath. Just an excellent shot. Congrats on the 4th and a PB to boot.
And the winner is....this. One question, did you set out to locally replicate the winning Sydney Opera house shot from last challenge, or did it just work out that way? Of course that was advanced editing and given those rules you could have dealt with the blown whites at the top of the hall, but that shouldn't keep this from winning
I can't find a single issue with this - the font is a good choice and it's properly placed, the whites are right on the edge, everything is sharp and clear and not over sharpened. A variable amount of light and color in the background and the subject is perfectly framed. Well done.
Nice, a classic postcard image. Again, I like these images where you can actually see the buildings against the sky. Great focus on the main subject. Good use of dead space for the text. 10
