Hi from the Critique Club

You asked for a comment from a Critique Club member.

Nice shot and very well controlled use of your camera in lighting this.

The shot is a little green/yellow. In post processing, tone down these or in camera use your WB to help you. The crop at the bottom is tight and could use more space or you get up on a higher plane to take this shot. Your leaf covered bridge is tilted and throws the whole shot off as well, not a lot can be done about this though but it is something to see next time you look through the viewfinder.

Your shot is sharp and clean, you did well with this shot as nightscapes are difficult!

I like the cityscape. Not sure HDR was helpful to you on this scene.

The color temp seems to lean too far to the greens.

I'm off sick today, so I am at least making use of the time to get this challenge voted and commented on. Hope I am not making anyone sick by coughing up on their entries.

A good enough nighttime cityscape, but not really doing much for me. the yellows look kind of greensish, and perhaps that is dulling the visual impact for me.

I've been there! But I didn't know it was going to be lit up at night I would've come back! great colors. Crop on bottom is a little tight.

5 - A reasonable use of HDR, but not a very engaging photo, in my opinion

7 - A reasonable use of HDR, and an engaging photo, in my opinion

10 - A fantastic use of HDR, and an out of this world photo, in my opinion
