    I love the texture of the sky! Was that natural? Im curious! Great shot! I like the reflection of the lights in the water also.

    Almost natural. The only think that I did is a little bit of contrast and crop, nothing more.

    Tough shot to critique indeed Lovin ... nice work.

    I think I can only add that I'd have gone the opposite to Marko and zoomed out a bit further to capture more of that sky and more of the light reflections. F18 really caught some nice little star bursts from the lamp posts too. Like that.

    I (think) would probably reduce the blue colour a little in the sky and boost the red and yellow up a tad.

    On the other hand ... you could just leave it as is

    Zooming out more is not an option, because of the rocks that could distract the eye, only getting more of the sky.
    Hmm, I'll do a different crop. Let's see.

    Rocks in the foreground might add interest. Depends of course.

    The rocks were right at the bottom, and too dark.

    So they'd be a silhouette or shadow perhaps. That could work. So could light painting with a torch if you feel like really stepping out and experimenting

    If I paid you a million bucks to include those rocks AND make them work ... you'd find a way

    But hey ... adding the rocks could be a crap idea. I wouldn't know ... I can't see them
