Well here's the thing. That's not water in front of the tree's. It's just cement. When the lights bounced off the cement it turned this beautiful golden color.

Now this cement area is much larger and when I framed up this shot I had the entire height of the tree's reflected off the cement area. It looked absolutely beautiful (in the camera). However, when I got home and put it on the computer I realized you could see all the imperfections of the cement. The cracks, the holes, the discolorations etc. etc. It looked like hell.

I had to get the entry in that evening and had basically ran out of time. So I cropped the hell out of it and it just ruined the entire look of the picture. What are you gonna do? Such is life.

Thanks for your comments however.

The background city lights nicely intermingle with the Christmas trees of lights.
