3 night shots from the weekend

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Thommo, that last 1 is a cracker. The light trails and the street lights look great.

I like them all but for me the first one is great, I love the symmetry and the fact I didn't know exactly what I was looking at first.

Nice,

Did you use a tripod for all of these?

30sec exposure for the last one. Lets hope so, or we have a robot in our midst. :lol:

#1 is the standout here for me. Especially since you cloned me out :wink:

It has great lines, is very well exposed and the composition works a treat. Rounding the shot out, there are enough elements to reward the viewer as they linger over the scene.

Thommo - Just another comment from me since I came back to this.

I think the image is actually better because those aweful plastic orange and white road barriers are there. This has a very Jeffrey Smart feel to it.

Stubbsy i think they make the shot as well, they add that little bit of colour that stands out whilst not being to intrusive

Really like the first thommo. Love the sense of balance and how the eye is lead straight through the middle, only interrupted by the barriers :( Had the barracades not been there it would have been an absolute pearler.
cheers
