Great night shot! The exposure is right on, with the colour very visible without being washed out as sometimes happens in night shots. The reflection is brilliant too, really making the bottom of the frame light and making the whole photo quite beautiful. Well done!

Bonjour Linas,
beaucoup de lumières artificielles, donc de grands risques de surexpositions à certais endroits. Je crois que tu t'en es très bien sorti, avec en prime, des reflets très réussi.
Amicalement.
Daniel.

Linas,
Great night image! You have managed the difficult lighting very well getting great colors from this lighting without washing them out. Your composition and POV are great with nice sharpness and detail. The reflection adds nice texture and depth to the photo.
TFS,
Asa

Hi.
Great shot Linas, crisp and clear with lots to look at. I maybe would have cloned out the foreground car light trails. but mere detail. Particularly helpful notes! Thanks,
Dougie.
