Like the exposure here - the controlled blowing out of the highlights from the sun really add impact to the sense of suffusion of light through the space. In my experience people will comment on that as a bad point, but don't believe them - it's a fascinating and useful trick, well pulled off here.

Should have been cropped tighter to eliminate negative space. Good leading of the eye to the sunlight.

you managed to show the difference between the two lightsources and the title is well chosen! I love the sphere you put down with this photo, the use of colours and the composition! Top 10 photo!!

I'll bet a lot of people won't understand the title--they'll wonder what "salt" has to do with anything. :-)

I'm assuming you are referring to the sodium lights normally found in large spaces, and your photo shows that sunlight is naturally much brighter. That's a long way to go for most DPC voters, I'm afraid. :-)
