Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Very nice and a very picturesque city you live in.
One thing i might add is the white balance setting you have chosen for the lighting in the streets. The light in your photos is very orange, perhaps too much. If you could cool the white balance a bit i reckon these pics would look so much better. But of course that's my preference, i prefer my night cityscapes to have a less orange and slightly cooler blue tinge to them. Give it a go and see how it looks. If you have shot in JPG and not NEF then you could try turn down the colour balance in your editing program and see that way. Just a few thoughts. Please keep shooting and showing your pics. Take care. Steve.

I'm with Killa - a little too orange. I really like the use of angles and lines in the foruth shot with the pathway & railings. Peter

I don't know how long you've been shooting, but I think you show a very good eye. Your images are all very nice.
Several of them however would be even better if the dominant structural element in the picture was straighter; e.g. the one with the ramp looks like the masonry part in the background should be the vertical reference. I know that it's kind of hard some times to tell just what that element should be and sometimes you have to wait until post processing to decide, but it can knock the picture down a couple points when it's not right. I do like your work and look forward to seeing more of it!
