City by Moonlight - Thoughts...

A couple random images shot recently - I was wondering what people thought of either or both of these. They were both shot on the same night from the same position but with very different intentions for each (as you can see).

This second was shot with my variable ND filter (which I've almost never used) - I wanted a longer exposure (and got it - 10 minutes for this one and I did another at 25 mins) so I didn't need the 10 stopper - I used towards the lower end of the variable ND so probably around 3 or so stops

Rodney, I am a bit ambivalent on these.

#2 probably needs a nother element perhaps? As it is, I would be inclined to get rid of those bright lights on the left lower area.

#1 Perhaps also left wanting a bit more. Dunno. The buildings are nice but not great etc...Although I suspect this will look better if viewed large.

Yes. Just paint it black perhaps.
