    Even though my first post remains uncommented, I´d like to share some more Christmas pics from my place:

    Stunning! thumb.gif The first pic in post #2 is my favorite; wonderful composition, perfect exposure, the sky is perfect, and I like seeing the inclusion of people. There appears to be some streaks of glare just off of center (maybe some other lights behind the building?) or is this in front of the lens. No matter, the photo is just perfect.

    I didn't see your first set, but I have a comment for this one: Excellent. :D

    I like the second and last the best, followed by the first one. I love the way the tungsten color correction turned the sky deep blue in that second one. Was that intentional? The circular fountain looks like it was taken with a fish-eye too. All around a great shot. thumb.gif

    Very nice! I like the colors in the last one. The reflections in the first are great and the sky color surreal - I'm almost tempted to want to crop off just a little of the foreground in that one to get rid of the spot light on the lower left and end up with a panorama aspect ratio. Anyway, I like them all really!

    I agree. That's my favourite too - especially the composition. Well done!

    I really like the 2nd and 3rd photos. You have the night shots figured out for sure. Some very images on your site. thumb.gif
