I'm obviously a little late commenting on this photo, but I love it. I can't believe it didn't fare better in this challenge. This is a great shot. It makes me want to go down there some night and shoot around.

Very nice capture of this emotional symbol. I have never really seen a nice shot of the memorial, now that I see your, I think I would like to see in person.

The cross seems a bit cropped off

a little tilted. a tighter crop would do it good.

Beautiful clear shot. Try different compositions.

I am glad you entered this. I believe this photo serves a double benefit. The quality of this is great! Not overexposed for most of the lights. I would have liked the reflection to include the top of the church.

Nice composition, like the reflection. A bit more contrast via a black point adjustment would make this even better. Optical illusion makes it appera tilted to left slightly, though I know it is not.

Great composition. However, I wish the duck and the person on the right/center (park ranger?) were not in the photo.

good pic. looks like the steeple is cropped a bit tight. And I wonder about getting rid of the church all together. competes a bit with the central statue in my opinion, but wonderful shot, great reflection and nice exposure. great work.
