Hi

Try keeping your horizon level. It is the most basic rule of landscape photogrpahy.

This could be an interesting shot!

If you have the chance to revist the location I would do the following:

- Horizon level, like mentioned earlier
- Place the horizon a bit higher in the shot so as to leave more room for you subject: the light and illumination
- Remove the flowers that are in the bottom right of the shot as they are not part of the scene you are trying to show
- Bump down the ISO and have a longer exposure so that you will get nice "star-like" figures where lights are. If it gives rise to extra long exposure time find a way to wedge your camera into place
- Bump down the aperture to f11-13 to have everything sharp
- Switch to manual focus because when you press the shutter release button the camera will try to focus on whatever is in the centre of the frame
- If you don't have a remote set the camera to a timer, maybe 5 - 10 seconds depending on how long it takes you to get away from the camera

I hope this helps!

Well the horison issue has already been raised, as has the flower in the foreground right.

I have signifiant reservations about the 'white balance' in this shot. There are multiple light sources present, and not one of them really dominant. They all have their own temperature/colour cast.

Aside from PP correction (which I wouldnt have thought would be the easiest) or converting to B&W im not sure how you are going to overcome this.

I suspect you have surcummed to the "looks good with your eyes so will look good on film" effect. When I first started shooting this happened ALL the time. It still happens to me now, when I get back to the computer and look for that 'fantastic shot' on the memory card, only to find it has been replaced by something awful.....

Unfortunately what we perceive isnt what the camera sees....
