Could have used a fill light.

Yes I agree. When I took the photo though I planned on just masking and adjusting the exposure in post process but obviously I had to use the unedited one for the contest.

You shoot 3 times the same spot for the same contest ... By voting only one, we all know your identity ... I think you should choose one and delete the 2 others before mods do it for you

You may know my identity but I don't think that should affect your voting. I trust that you guys vote on the quality of the photo, technique, and relevance. Posting 3 photos of the same place doesn't break any rules and therefore it's unnessary for mods to take any down. Thanks to everyone for your honest votes

I'msorry Author, but the rules are what they are ... : "Don't submit an entry with the same "subject/object/scenery" more than once - this includes the same contest or any of the other contests current or future. Even over-using the same subject, location or titling should be avoided to preserve your anonymity." ( http://www.pxleyes.com/guidelines )

Oh I didn't realize. Ok, how do I delete 2 of these?

Great Job!

It seems a beautiful drawing ...

Maybe a bit to HDRish...

This is amazing though it is not a good idea to upload to similar photos side by side .... mods will remove them

Sweet colors! agree with mellanie tho.

It's not really much of a tower.

When I do long exposure the sky always stands out can you tell me how you got this photo I would love to do some photos like this.

In this particular shot it was cloudy and no moon so the sky didn't stand out against the bright town lights. Also messing with contrast and exposure after the shot can make quite a difference. To get longer exposures during the day I use nuetral density filters like a solid 3 stop and a graduated filter on top to filter the sky even more
