Melbourne by night

[dbp]

Took this shot of downtown Melbourne from Albert Park. I liked the reflection of the skyscraper lights in the lake and also the dark (almost silhouetted) trees on the far bank.

I used a tripod and remote shutter release to try to get a nice sharp image, not too sure if it's sharp enough though?

Do you think the composition is correct?

Any tips for night photography would be great as this is my first proper attempt.

Very nice shot, I love the colours and reflections. The composition is good too - the buildings are nicely balanced across the scene. It looks sharp enough to me

Thanks Lisa,

I wasn't too sure if the exposure was correct?
The reason I ask is because the blue light at the top of the tower on the left is bright and fuzzy for example. Does this type of thing ruin the shot?
