Hello,

I just want you guys to tell me if the lights are in correct tone, where can I improve and what is the upgrade lens for night and landscape shooting.

Thanks,

I think that's a cool shot. I like the fountains in diagonal keeps it more interesting than if it were shot straight on. The lights seem to be fine, I'm not sure what white balance you used but you might wanna use tungsten setting for shots at night outside. Also if you have a chance to go back to the place and take the shot right at dusk, with twilight colors up in the sky would really set this shot to another level. Overall great capture

Love the shot. I do work similar as well. The only think I can see that you might want to crop out the far right edge. Makes you wanna focus to the side a little. Love the water and light concept tho. Keep it up.
