How many people, I wonder, will read the title as "reading" and not "Reading"?

Not a bad shot, but the orange-ness of it is a little distracting to me. Perhaps some different setting would yield different results? There's a lot of ambient light, which can be a challenge...but I think some cooler colors would give this photo a mood that really pops.

Fairly general photo. Seems flat.

The trees in the right foreground really make the city stand out nicely.

Is that Reading uk? If so we are neighbours! Think the composition would be helped with a little cropping of the tree to the right.

I find the trees on the right somewhat distracting.

If this had been in sharp focus, it would have been a good photo. That is pretty basic.

Doesn't do much for me. Nothing very interesting here.

The massive saturation of red into all elements of this shot hurts it significantly, and it doesn't help that the odd color and sudden drop in intensity draw the eyes somewhat to the trees, which seem out of focus. This is probably from focusing on the lights, and then using too low an aperture. If this was tripod-based and there was no wind, you might have tried shooting at f/11 or even f/22 to see if you could get the entire scene. I think you were going for drama with all the red, but it doesn't really work for me.

White balance needs a touchup here...
