 long-exposure night shot. The "sunlight" in this photo is actually coming from a street sodium lamp just outside the frame. The whole scene was very dimly lit by its ugly yellow light. To retrieve some other colors :) I had to move the color temperature slider all the way down in RAW conversion.

(sorry for a typo in the title :))

Fascinating. The long exposure changes the night's light into a surreal sunny landscape.
Congrats for the top 10

This was one of my top pics. I loved that there was almost this 3-d feel to the photo. Great photo.

Innovative title, had to think for a minute. I might have cropped it a little tighter to the tree, but overall i don't object to thecrop. The light is great.
