Comment from PhotoVision
It is a pretty image. I like the colours, those greens are electric. If it were my image I would crop off the top and make it a more panoramic size. Loving the water reflections, very nice they are.

Comment from canon shooter
It looks very nice for a night capture. How long was the exposure? I see you got some the green in the trees which is very nice. I think you should take more night photos.

Thanks Bob, hoping to do more when we go to New Zealand in a weeks time - sorry forgot to give details it was 15.0s F11.0 ISO100 on tripod. Had it on Bulb for the firework one :)

Comment from amfunny
I have no idea if it is right or wrong, but I love the colored reflections of the lights in the water. Pretty colors in this. Nice job.

Thank you so much, most people so far seem to like the night shot so I will try and do some more particularly while we are away in New Zealand in a weeks time :) Mary

Comment from Life is but a dream.
OH MY...you Knew exactly what you were doing to capture this lovely saturated night image! It shows you thought about it's composition and framing. It's nicely balanced and harmonious. I love the way you used negative space also adding to the serenity. The pops of white light from the windows behind the trees adds mystery. Very nice.

Technical Review.
This is appropriately sliced in half with balancing equal sides. Not blurred, sharply taken, tripod usage evident (or a hard rock). Tonality rich and visual elements of horizontal strong line with rhythmical vertical lines give a lovely visual impact. Camera angle is straight on and nice. Horizontal presentation of image benefits this upload.

Suggestions:
Play around with POV for uniqueness.

Wishing you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR and you deserve FULL MARKS

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. With all the great comments received I now am feeling more confident to try more night photography.

Comment from Reflections2
Aside from the rich velvety texture and colors that have painted the canvas created by your lens, I adore the shadowed silhouette of tree tops. Your blue and green light extravaganza has made trees come quietly to life; love that smooth reflection in the water. The solo amber light seems to add balance to that right side of the photograph - where trees are shorter and not as full. The slight jet of shoreline out into the water in the center is just enough to add to DOF in a graceful, low-impact that is nevertheless effective. If this is only the 2nd night shot you have taken, I'd love to see your more experienced enhanced-skills night photography offerings. Thank you for sharing this lovely capture.

Thanks Beny - hope you do make it to Adelaide would recommend spending time on North Terrace, some great historical buildings, Mortlock Library is really interesting inside, the River Torrens is lovely paricularly at night and a trip on the Popeye to the Zoo is quite relaxing - of course there is the Zoo which houses the 2 pandas. Central Markets are full of color and supposed to be one of the best markets in Aus and you can't really go past the wine growing areas. I particularly like McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek region which is a nice drive from Adelaide and the beaches in that area are worth a look - Aldinga Beach and Hallet Cove where there is a conservation park with interesting geology to be seen. We live in Norwood a couple of km out so feel free to contact me while here (mmulholland885@gmail.com)

Love your colour scheme and the refelections in the water. It certainly is a beautiful night shot. It is many long years since I have been to Adelaide. I remember sitting on the banks rejoying the river.

Comment from cynnocence
Wow, the greens and blues are so comforting. I love the reflections on the water and the way they are slightly distorted. The one red ribbon of light draws the eye along the page to that spot. The composition is really good and there is so much to take in. Great photo.
