 I took this shot for SoFoBoMo, I like the colours but think its a bit too cluttered through the center, trees, lights, fed square building. Will be interested to see how it goes, a 5.9-6.0 would probably keep my position in the FSM, one can hope.

Wow I am very pleased with how this did, a PB for me. I'm really stoked that a number of people though this was a shot by Enzo. I have a long way to go before I could give him a run for his money.

The light of the city do give off this weird red sort of glow.
I'm glad that I like that because I have no idea how to get around that.
This is a great picture that is really busy with lots to look at.

Fantastic night shot. Not too fond of the border though, it just doesn't seem to work in this case.

I am guessing that this brilliantly exposed and composed image is the work of master photographer Hotpasta.
