Beautiful shot! I love the movement in the clouds, and the thin red line studded with lights 2/3 of the way down the image. I think the composition may be improved by cropping out most of the dark area below the red line. What do you think?

I think so as well, but wanted to preserve a regular format, I'll try the new crop.

Gotcha! It's a fine image either way. Congrats! :thumb

Another shot from the night. I think a 2 minute exposure.

Very nice! I like everything about this shot: rich blue in the sky, the twinkle of the moon, the observatory serving as an anchor, and the colorful city lights! :thumb
