Awesome Shots!

I like the 1st one the best, the 3rd shot too.
I wish the other shots would be darker to put more emphasis on the bridge lights. That's just me.

Cropping and composition are ok in my book.

With the 1st image was the light "spot" intentional?

I love 1 ( except for that "spot") and number 3.


Sorry I'm still learning terminology and am a newbie to photography myself

I love the idea and composition of the first one. You ought to go back there and hope for a bit less fog/mist obscuring the moon. It would be awesome. After that I'd say the third as it is dark enough to set the bridge off nicely and the clouds look great, too.

Those are amazing! I thought the light from the traffic in the first shot was too bright and distracting, but the others were awesome!
