**** Greeting from the Critique Club ****
Challenge
- Relevant to the Challenge? Yes
- Is subject unique (vs. unoriginal or rehashed)? Yes and No. The viewpoint is unique, but the long exposure capturing the head/taillights was common in this challenge.
Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? Nice leading lines and unique view. The left side of the image ruins it for me though. The one palm extends into the image too far. Give me a clear view down the road. Let me follow the string of lights.
- Good focus? The focus is a bit soft, probably due to the 10 sec exposure and camera shake.
Lighting
- Good use of light? Yes, the lighting is good, but the image is overexposed. You used a very narrow aperature , but a high ISO. I'd try using an 800 ISO instead. The street lights and the reflections on the cars are the places that you notice the blown highlights.
- Good use of shadows? Yes No
Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- Colors and Contrast. The colors are a little dull, but the contrast of the lit road and the dark water is a nice touch.
- What is my reaction or feelings? Long exposures make me go, "Ho hum." Just a personal opinion. |

| Nice capture white balance seems a bit warm and the starry streetlights bug me a little. But nice composition. |

| This would've looked a lot better if you started the picture before that car in the middle was there. |

| Nice perspective. The road is a little bright for my taste, but the skyline is exposed well. I might have cropped out the side of that building on the left, and maybe a little from the top or bottom. |
