Default Night Light

I shot this in a car park at night. I kinda liked the greeny cast to the shot, but what do you guys think?

I really like the idea of the shot...interesting idea. The one thing that happens to me when I look at it is my head wants to turn and make the lights seem parrell to me (appear more horizantel) it thing there is so many angles and lines I have a hard time finding an anchor for the image. Maybe try it with the lights more horizantel next time. Other then that I like the shot.

I agree with Nieton that it's hard to get anchored. I like the green glow too and I think you captured the colors nicely but I wonder if you couldv'e gotten a better shot if you tried and made it more lined up.

stevesutt89,

That's a pleasing color, and if I think "triangular composition," it's OK that way. If you left just a little more room on l/r and top, it'd be a better fit. Good experiment.

The colour is great - rather alien - almost looks stylised. I agree about the composition though, not sure exactly what bothers me. Maybe if you shot them more from directly underneath, but still keeping some angles to it.
