Comment from Robert Plain
Very well handled night photo. Excellent details in the shadows without blowing out the lighted area around the boats. Was the boat in the background also a tourist boat? They look similar. Really nice photo, SG.

Hi sorry for the lower rating on this one but you know this is a poor quality photo from any standard. I have seen much better work from you. Let us start with the too dark background and then huge grain due to high iso. If the blue boat is you main subject then you could have zoomed on it a go closer. Thanks for sharing.

Moving boat in full darkness I need a very high iso; zooming would be worse

nice colorful capture. the angle of the shot of these colorfully lit ships is great. the clarity is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

This looks like a fun adventure. The blue lights from the tourist ship reflect beautifully in the water adding nice color and an interesting view.
The surrounding lights add depth and character.
I like your vantage point.
Well framed and presented!

Simple but effective and this is probably more to do with the bright illumines blue colour that stands out so much that it puts the rest of the picture in to insignificance. Excellent presentation

I was wondering about the blue lights on these boats in some of your earlier posts. A well composed shot with the two blue boats leading into the night lights of the city.

A quite striking night image posted here. That boat of yours certainly creates a great initial impact! Your fine composition allows us an enjoyable look at the boat and its nice location. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

How wonderful is this? You've taken us right into the heart of this scene. It's a master class in night photography, and a great storytelling image. Great stuff.
