Re: Night-Shot.

I like the composition, and the colours + sharp detail are great

The top half of the image is very dark. I know it's a night shot, but the FG is well lit, and the lighting seems to end at the clock face, above which is suddenly dark. I'm not talking about the sky being dark, I mean the buildings. Although this does give a sense of perspective + of looking up (thanks to your viewpoint), I still find this effect distracting.

<pause>

Been studying your image, trying to figure out what was bugging me. Have now realised that I agree with Stepheno ... the sky looks in fact to be an infrared sky, which doesn't fit with the rest of the image. Please correct me if I'm wrong with that theory. It's the clouds - I wouldn't expect to be able to see clouds in a sky this dark. Looks like you've added an infrared sky to an HDR image; that combination doesn't work so well for me, I don't think Although it did get me looking at your image for a good long while, which can't be a bad thing
