It's been months since I posted something for critique here. Please be brutally honest. :shock:

Steve,
Bold sharp and architecturally appealing on the eye and the way you've shot these!

1. I' guessing the reflection on this image is some type of Neon sign, tell us more!

2. Nice leading lines and curves in this one, was there special PP used to create the perfect star from the light?

3. Another star light - nice.. these images all seem quite warm, possibly due to the light surrounding for these shots, but what WB were using for these shots? I don't they're 'wrong' or 'bad', just look a little too warm (yet the light in the 3rd image almost looks cool/blue but only the light).

4. This is nice, but my least favourite. That's just me.

Thanks for sharing :)

I really like #2 but that's just personal choice. The road comes in and then it goes out again. I like it !

It's not that the others are bad, but they don't do it for me.

#1 has all sorts of relections in it. There were traffic lights, a blue neon from a restaurant and some car headlights.

#2/3/4 are all HDR from the raw files 0 / -2 / +2 exposures. The white balance was set to auto but I played a bit during PP. There is a fairly difficult mix of lighting in them and I thought what I put up was the most pleasing but might have another look after Geoff's comment.
