A Monument at Night, a photo from Nagasaki, Kyushu

Photographer's Note

This was taken and the Nagasaki Bomb Site. After leaving later than I should have to catch the train to get to Nagasaki and then getting a little lost, I finally got to the Hypocenter around dusk. With the intense reading and emotion that a place like this can bring up, the pictures I took from here were erie and some what memorable, at least to me anyway.
For the sky I just waited until it was not quite dark to get it just right. For this kind of colour I think patience works well here. I just waited and set each shot up with care until the sky was just right... then the rush was on to make sure I got all the shots with that cool blue colour.
Only the levels, slight sat/hue and USM adjustments were done. Please keep the critiques coming, I enjoy and appreciate all of them. Thanks

I definatly think you got your colours bang on with this one! The only suggestion I would have is perhaps a crop from the sides to focus on the statue. But on the other hand, the amazing lighting does that well for you.. I am going to post a workshop to see what you think.
