Oh bugger, Just cleaned the sensor and what do I get, big blob of dust in the center... I shot almost the same shot two days ago but forgot about the 30 second rule. Then It was much calmer and that photo turned out nicer...

curves, levels, saturation, sharpening

Very nice composition. I would have rated this higher if not for the dust artifacts.

Nice composition. Maybe a little more saturation of the colors would be nice. And too bad about that big sensor duct thingy (I guess that's what it is).

Is that dust on your lens, drags my eye to it.

There it is again. :)
The balance of the exposure is a bit off, too dark foreground, to light sky. This could be better when shot when it is darker. A bit difficult in Scandinavia at this time of the year, you are celebrating the summer night this week right? :)
Also the horizon is pretty centered, that makes it difficult for the eye and mind to determine what the most important aspect is here. The foreground rocks and reflections or the upper brighter part with the tower.

Shame about that wierd dust spot in the sky, too bad this is just a basic editing challenge, otherwise I assume you would have removed it so I am not going to mark you down for it. I like the colors and contrast in this one, I for one would have boosted the contrast a little bit further but it works like it is. Nice composition. 7

Great shot! The spot on the left center of the image is a bit distracting but great colors and composition.

Wish it didn't have the blurry mark and the sensor dust in the sky. Otherwise, very cool.

Wow! Interesting building!

Good picture (which had been even better if you could have taken out the dust on the lens, but- basic editing... had the same problem :o(... 7

this is beautiful. the reflection of the lights on the water, especially with the color of the sky looks very nice!

time to clean your sensor!

Great photo, very well composed with great lighting. Only the sensor dust keeps this from going straight to the top. Very interesting design to that building.

great colors

This is beautiful but I cannot ignore the large dirt spots. Before I go out shooting long exposures I always make sure my sensor is clean. Too bad this wasn't advanced, you could have cloned them out.

Fantastic composition, I wish you had cleaned your sensor. 8

Great image, the two little blobs are a bit distracting though. Not much you can do about them in basic though.

somebody needs to clean their sensor. :)

starting to see a lot of theis "torso" building :-) It's always fascinating.

Nice torso :-) ... a few distractions in the sky, what are those? Up early, or late to bed?
