Hi Andreas.
I like this blue hour shot. Good HDR technique. Interesting composition with good perscective. The light trails are adding dynamism to the photo.

Andreas,
playing around with the capabilities of the PC and PP software is a great thing, but in this case I don't think that the B&W is adding anything to your image. The colored version is sooooooo good that a B&W only diverts the attention from the real thing. You're darn good with the HDR. So good that I even can't see that this is an HDR. It looks natural as if I'm standing in front of this scene and a car is just passing by so fast that I only can see the red backlight.

Γειά σου Ανδρέα!
Θεωρώ ότι η τεχνική αυτή έχει μία πρόσθετη λεπτομέρεια δώσει που στην νυκτερική είναι πλεονέκτημα! Εδώ η στιγμή έχει και την παρουσία ανθρώπων που προσθέτει στην σύνθεση! Εχεις πετυχημένο πλαίσιο προοπτική και λίγο από τα εφφέ, αλλά ο φωτισμός και η λεπτομερειες είναι υπέροχα.
Χαιρετώ σε!
Καλή εβδομάδα!

Guten Morgen Andreas,

kann mich meinen Vorrednern, soweit ich es verstehen kann, nur anschließen, wenn HDR sinnvoll eingesetzt wird, dann hast du hier ein sehr exemplarisches Beispiel dafür abgelietert, es wirkt einfach fantastisch real..
mein Kompliment..
Gruß Bernd

That corner!
Normally we have a lot of that architecture here in Western Turkey, and amongst the piles of disgusting concrete, they shine as humble sparkles of architectural elegance...
The colors and exposure are very nice. I like the touch of long exposure auto-ghosts creeping around.
Best regards,
Deniz

You are presenting an abnormal, unexpected activity on TE which makes worried if everything is alright...
When I saw this photo in world'S gallery, it reminded me your night photos and then I saw it is already your photo :)
Very attractive with colors and lights, I like blush tone of overall photo.
I know you use pp tools very effectively but why not to remove the cables as well, especially the one at right top corner??

Γεια σου Ανδρέα
Εξαιρετική HDR δουλειά. Δεν δείχνει πουθενά ψεύτικη αλλά ίσα-ίσα πολύ ρεαλιστική. Υπέροχα χρώματα και πολύ καλή απόδοση όλων των ειδών των φωτισμών, καθώς και της κίνησης του οχήματος.
Χαιρετώ
Χρήστος

good to see you a bit more active than before mlk... both in posting shots and writing critiques... keep going mister... you are always good at HDR... this may not be your best but its quite nice... what disturbs me here is that red light crossing the lady's legs...

Γεια σου Ανδρέα, καταπληκτική λήψη με εξαιρετική διαχείριση του φωτισμού, πολύ όμορφο κάδρο και τις ανθρώπινες παρουσιές να την απογειώνουν. Σε χαιρετώ,
Κώστας.
