Beautiful astonomical moment; lovely velvet sky.
The wires and the bright orange in the bottom right corner really pull the eye away from that event in the sky. If you want to preserve the aspect ration, consider cloning those aspects out. But, if might also work really well cropped to remove the distractions.
You did well to capture a flying flock without much blur in such low light. It is a scene many of us are used to seeing in early evening as birds move to their evening roosts.
The street lamp is a definite distraction for me. There's enough cloud material around you could probably clone it out of the shot.
And while your term "murder of crows" is correct, when I looked closer at the birds, they appear to be pigeons :-) (crows don't have light/dark patterning on their wings and bellies).
Good concept.
Move a foot or so to the left and use the statue to block the cranes in the background while also seperating his left arm from the taller tower.
Beautiful reflection and night lights. The runner in the foreground nicely added an 'action' element to the stillness of the scene.
The cranes on top of the building are very close to the runner, and are distracting. It would be nice to remove them by post editing
So very beautiful how the sky colours seem to melt into each other; gives a very dreamy feel. Truly an image to be proud of!!!
Great choice in composition to include the wide area of sky to the right of the lighthouse; my suggestion for possible improvement would be to crop out the two little houses on the far left. However this might result in not enough space on the left of the lighthouse, so maybe instead you could try cloning out the houses. Just my 2 cents, for what it's worth.
Thanks for the kind remarks. I intentionally kept the houses in the frame to balance the wide ratio.
Pleasing tones.
There is something funny going on with the sharpness in the image to my eyes. The lighthouse is super sharp but the rest of the image is not.
Nothing funny, plurely intentional.
A brilliant shot that scores in every way. I especially like the composition. The reflection of the colours on the water; red, white and pink stripes looks like a national flag...not sure if there's a country using this combination :)
Thank you for your kind remarks.
Wonderful choice for POV -- a less typical look at the scene gives a feeling of being secretly tucked beneath the bridge -- the viewer is a visual voyeur. Effective reflections and colours, plus capture of the moon and subtle movement of the boat really bring it all together. The cake is iced!
A classic view and you did it justice!! Beautiful reflections and well-timed capture to get the blue-hour just right!
Thank you.
Good composition -- not only in the balance of thirds from top to bottom -- but also the juxtaposition of the unilluminated natural portion of trees on the left with the sparkling skyline. Great clarity; well seen.
Thank you for noticing. Whether or not to include the trees was something I struggled with at the time.

Glorious use of that directional light to highlight the textures of the roof. A calm, yet dramatic image.
The red in the bottom right pulls my eye quite strongly. If it could be toned down just a touch the image would be better balanced.
