About the Image(s)
This image was actually shot during the day. I was playing with Lightroom's masks and converted the image to a night scene. No AI was used except for masking selections.

I really like what you have achieved here. You have converted a record shot into a very striking image and created a sombre mood. I like the light area at the top of the main building which draws the eye through the picture. The way you have enhanced the lamp at the bottom and added a reflection on the wall adds another dimension. I don't know if you could slightly separate the top of the left building from the sky without damaging the atmosphere but if you could that may be a small improvement but as an overall image it is great.

Thank you, Robert. Yes, you're right about the building on the left blending in with the sky. I'll try to lighten the building a little. Posted: 10/05/2025 00:23:16
Wow! What an amazing transformation. This is a real winner. I see what Robert is saying, but the building on the left doesn't bother me. I think if you lightened it, it would compete with your main subject. My only suggestion is to remove the light on the building on the left. I really love this. Excellent job.

Thank you, Cindy. I wasn't sure about the small light on the left. Of course, I added the glow in the light. But, now that I look at the image with fresh eyes, it does appear to be a little distracting. Posted: 10/07/2025 00:36:00
