Good shot, I like the dramatic clouds in this one. Must have been a good building to stay in.

An enchanting see of light complimented by avery interesting and fun looking sky.
The contrast between the sky and the sea of lights is great and the horizon seems somewhat unexpected but desired. It's wonderful how all the roads seem to lead and converge too.
It almost seems like a sci-fi movie poster.

Impressive view from this tower. Good dof of this crowded place. A bit disquieting with those clouds. It gives me a sense of alienation

Wow, great shot. All those lines converging on that top 3rd, and mirrored in the sky too. Really effective photo. It gives a feeling of a lot of energy and a lot of people, but also a lot of space too. Very dynamic.

Beautiful sweeping view above the vast night cityscape, Ken. Good handling of the exposure to afford a big amount of the urban details, and I like how the illuminated strips of roads are converging towards an off-centered point on the horizon. Impressive sight, very nice.
