"Capture Manchester" Photo Competition

Very beautiful night photograph

Beautiful photograph, light and colours. A great night shot

Stunning night shot, the somewhat industrial history in the foreground and the modern buildings in the background really makes this image ... superb light and details. Well done!

formidable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ***************************** I LOVE ........ !!!! BRAVO

congratulations! a very well deserved prize
the composition and lights are just fantastic

Your success is richly deserved (but then I am biased).
To me, your entry is the stand out image...but I am worried and suspicious about the 14 year old' s entry!!!

Its one of those shots that I can keep coming back to and finding more. The shear range of colour is something I particularly enjoy in the shot.

This is very beautiful. Love the colors, lights and shadows, the composition and and. It's a stunning capture well processed Ian.

Congrats, Ian! Even if it's not your favourite shot, I can clearly see why they have chosen this picture, the light is wonderful.

Congratulations Ian! I'ts a lovely shot.
Difficult to decide what to spend the money on? -- Treat the family to a slap-up meal, or buy a new lens? :-)

I think it's stunning. What would you change?

Wow! Excellent perspective. I really like to see the old and new architecture. The light is always excellent. Great job!

congrats, ian. that's a great shot...

Congrats, Ian!!! This is so wonderfully atmospheric... very lovely lighting, tonality and diverse textures!:-)

A wonderful picture Ian! I love the perspective, detail and the full exposure which is so rare for a night shot!

Great composition and rich tones. Excellent.

This is picture perfect, Ian. So crisp, vibrant and the light and the tones are superb. Great job!

cracking image, well done

Congrats!

Very nice wide angle composition.

This is really beautiful. The striking thing for me is the smoothness of this. The lighting is really nice and moody. I wouldn't be shocked to see a dark mysterious figure skulking about here.

Excellent shot. I really like the warm glow of the street light and how other temperatures are mixed in. The contrast between the old tower and new one is cool, too. Nice.

Congratulations Ian. Out of interest I'd love to know what you think is technically wrong with the picture. Personally I think it's a great photo.

well with this shot i am not surprised! wonderful long exposure and control of the light1 the colour tones are brilliant and composition is spot on - superb work!

It's always so nice when I visit your phtoblog and discover so many beautiful and unique photographs. I just love the light and the eerie mood in this one. Superb!

Breathtaking night scene! Wow! Outstanding work!

great scene & fantastic colors. like the ambience!

This is superb, Ian. The light and leading lines and perspective all work together.

Beautiful nightshot with excellent colors.

Congrats. Beautiful shot. Very nice use of night colors.

Hey Ian, this is beautiful. This is an older post but if you happen to see this comment, you wrote "I can see lots of technical things wrong with it now that I would do differently", and well damned if I can see anything wrong, as a learning experience, what do you see wrong here?

Thanks for taking the time, learned something.
