 My first night shoot with my tripod, and I liked the view of the cathedral through a clearing in the trees. Converted from Raw, removed hot pixels, curves, crop and resize.

I'm pleased with this result. I actually only took this to get some use out of my new tripod, but I thought I may as well enter. As far as the suggestions for more zoom are concerned, I was (still am!) lens-constrained here. The water is a flowing river rather than anything still, so a longer exposure didn't gain any better reflection. And as far as the picture being very dark, that's what drew me towards it. At first glance it looks completely black, but then you can gradually pick out a bit of texture in the trees.

a little more zoom for details might help

zoom on the cathedral would have worked well, the photo is 90% dark

I think this could have benefited from a longer exposure to better capture the reflection of the building.
