Artist's Comments

Long exposure and desaturation... :) Just a look at my little part of the world, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Critiques


:icontruewill:
Overall, excellent. I like the understated use of color and the headlights. My one criticism would be the foreground - the parked cars and empty space add nothing to the composition. I would recommend cropping out the bottom quarter.

Hmm.. It seems there's a one hundred word minimum on critiques. So I'll nit-pick. ;) You could have used a narrower aperture for more depth of field, which might have improved sharpness. I find the blue on the sign at the right slightly distracting. There's a slight tinge of rose color on the streetlights in the foreground. But these are very minor issues. Well done! Great angle, too!
The Artist thought this was FAIR
3 out of 3 deviants thought this was fair.

woah, ive never seen the city from that point of view! are you in the iowa realty building? i like the lights! they look like stars! makes me see a completely different beauty in CR
:iconkociorro:
great!
i have played a little with long exposure time and high F number, but your "star" lights are more interesting than mine...
desaturation also adds to this interesting effect.

it's a photo, but with all these effects it looks a little bit unreal. like some 3d graphic render or something.
and these shawdows - each going different direction...
crazy.

i really like this! =)

I love the lights. Is this part of the shot or is it an effect added in post work?

Just long exposure... :) No effects to the lighting, just modifications to the saturation levels... :)
