This pic just has so much *pop* to it, it is extraordinary. I see you used a 20s exposure at ISO64 -- that's great. I can only get 15s at ISO160 on my Fuji 602, so am quite jealous of what you have achieved in this pic. Excellent!

Thanks everyone for your kind words. Timing was definitely on my side. John, I would have loved to have more detail in the lower right, but the people there were moving about during this 20 second exposure and I couldn't stop them ;-)

G'day Ingo,
Love the visid blue of the sky and water to saturate this dusk scene. Great one for the theme. I find myself hunting for SOME detail at the lower right. The lower left works much better for me, subdued but there to add more depth to the scene.
Cheers, John

Hi Ingo
What a wonderfully clear shot, not a blur or blown light to be seen, wish I had your technique.
Regards

Detroit has never looked so good, Ingo. Beautiful shot.

Why bother with fireworks? The colors in this photo is brilliant also without them. I really like this one, Ingo.

Ingo, this is just beautiful. That blue just melts my heart :) and the reflections are wonderful. Great capture.

great capture Ingo, & excellently treated for this challenge. i would say u were fortunate to have such a calm 20sec, to capture the detail of the leaves/branches in the forground trees, and also the reflections of the buildings over such an expanse of water. thanx.

Beautiful city lights and sky colors, my favourites combine in this photo in great balance.

Hi Ingo,

What a magical lighting! A great dusk skyline shot, with the dark foreground "anchoring" the shot very well. Good entry

Beautiful! You don't need fireworks to light up this photo...It brilliant on it's own :) Nice work!
