Nice work Linas! You've taken this night shot at the perfect time IMO. I really like the colour contrast between the natural blue lighting, and the warm artificial light. The reflections balance and complement the buildings themselves too.

I can't quite decide whether I might be tempted to trim a little off the left hand side or not; I don't feel the short office building adds to the scene, but it is nice to have the final tower on the (if I remember rightly) station building.

One thing I would have a look for in the darkest RAW file is the detail on the clockface of the ?station, currently it's white, but I think you might be able to pull it back from the 4s exposure.

Overall, I like it! It's a very nice piece of work :D

Hi Linas
An impressive photo of Melbourne. Creating the wish to visit this lovely continent and the specific town. Considering your dynamic increase, the result is a bit weak, as you still have overexposed parts. Looking at the preselected times (4, 8 and 15 seconds) I can say two things:
1) The interval is correct
2) the darkest photo is too bright (here you should have worked with at least 1 second or even lower), that is why the result is not satisfying me.
Otherwise as I told you an excellent photo.
Cheers, Leonidas

What a stunning work, Linas! Clear and sharp image! The light management is perfect as well as the tonal gradation of the colors.
Congratulations!
Warm regards,
Athanasios.

Hi Linas
Appart from the fact there are a few ultra bright spots and a slightly unusual format it's a very pleasing photo of my city. I especially like the colours of the buildings and the grass and the reflection on the Yarra which looks almost icy.

I've tried many a time to take this photo from the same view point but NOT even close!! This is just fabulous!! Your lighting is just perfect and it shows off the majestic city of Melbourne beautifully.

Well done!

Wow, this is a great photo for colour and composition. A few bright spots? Yes, but they do not distract me from the overall beauty of the scene.

Reallky nice reflections on the Yarra. Interesting neon effect of the blue illumination on some of the buildings.

Colours and contrast well balanced.

Melbourne certainly has some beaut subjects to photograph!
