 This was about half an hour after sunset. This was handheld at 1/3sec braced on the railing. It was tough to figure out where exactly the sweet spot was and to try to focus it. I think I lucked out and got pretty good focus on the left concrete thingies before the drop. The lights on top on the hill are the street lights for the interstate freeway.

Good focus spot here. I like how the spray of the water leads into the blur on the right.

You did get a good focus there, but my eye wanders up to the top right where the fun orange spots are. Interesting photo.

I like the way the lens elongates the lights.

What a wonderful place to photograph. You did quite well with the given lighting. Very smooth (love the way the water looks) and well focused. Nice colortones too.

Lovely photo. Looks icy, but perhaps that's just the colors. I think the lights are a nice addition.

I've decided that the sweet spot isn't always round. It seems to meander back and forth through the shot. Very moody shot. Nice work.
