Shanghai Nights

Hmmm - for me what's missing is an overall focal point. My eye tends to wander all around the image.
So I have to bring it back to you (sneaky I am ) and ask what about this shot intrigued you? You included many elements. Are they all important - do they all contribute?
Hope that may help.

nice job on the lights to start with. i think it would have been cool if you would have tired the rule of thirds and have the camera looking a bit more left or right so the tower was off centre. that way the building would draw your eye to it and may give your eye that focal point and help tell your story.

Hello Marko, Belliveau
Thanks for your comments it is appreciated and I think you found the answer I was looking for "The Focal Point".
When I saw this scene in Shanghai I was like WOW because for me I liked the neon lights, tower, the people and wanted to capture that but like you said there's to much going on and it would be better if there was a point that draws you in.This is something that occurs a lot in my photography and would be good for me to look at the rule of thirds again,I did learn at college about the rule of thirds but never quite got my head round it.
Anyhow till next time I consider this case closed.
Thanks Again
Paul
