any chance you could post your photo for us here? Much easier to critique if we arent flipping back and forth from one page to another

No critiques from me this eve, however, I do have a comment or two...and since you asked for either critiques or comments, I shall say...I like the night shot..it is not perfect but it is a good first night shot by all means and when I looked at your other photos, there's a certain feel or consistency that is coming across...very nice. It is obvious that you are "feeling" your shots and it shows. They are enjoyable photographs.

First of all, here's how to post your image from Flickr - Posting Photos from Flickr [July 2010 Update]

I looked at your shot and it looks pretty good. Normally, I like having foreground interest in the shot, but it looks like in order to do that, you had to use a wide angle, causing the distance buildings to look pretty small. I think in this case, you could have skipped the foreground and zoomed in more on the buildings. If you can't fit them all in on one shot, you can take multiple shots and stitch them together and make a panorama.

Usually, you want good depth of field in your landscape shots, so f/8 or f/11 is a good place to start. Most lenses are sharpest around f/8.

I second that about aperture, you want a good depth of field. Some of the lights look like they might be blown out, which a smaller aperture might help with.

I'm personally not fond of the dirt at the bottom of the photo. I'd suggest getting closer to the water and then cropping or cloning out what little dirt is left. Also, it looks like the horizon might be tilting down very slightly to the left.

I like how the overpass leads me into the image, but that tree on the right is very distracting.
