A fine image Sanford, taken under what could be difficult conditions. I like the way you have exposed to maintain the stars in the sky above the tree line. But I have a couple of questions please. Is there any time available, even just 30 seconds, when there are no people on that pathway? Were you able to take just a couple of steps to your right, so that stand/lectern could be removed from the bottom left corner?   Posted: 12/12/2024 02:41:55

Sanford, you kept to the magic of 3 in the image: 3 building uprights, 3 major clumps of trees, 3 people. Seeing that you're a purist and don't clone things out, I would suggest that you try a long exposure with a tripod and that will get rid of the people. I do a lot of street photography and people don't bother me. In this image, people provide a sense of perspective. I agree with Ian about the bottom left corner podium.   Posted: 12/21/2024 14:42:29
