This thread isn't getting too much new stuff, so here's one. Taken a block from my house in Hawthorne NJ. Nikon D600, 28mm 2.8D, 13 seconds at F5.6, ASA 200.
Your photo, critiqued and/or praised. It's about learning and improving.

I'm guessing the dual coloring is high pressure sodium street lights for the sky and background, and something whiter for the tree and foreground?
Anyway, a quick scan around the image makes me wonder if just a little detail could be brought out in dark lower right area, without making it too light. Not so much a critique as an itch to experiment.

You're right, it's a mixed light environment. I did do a version where the road on the lower right was bought up a bit ... and decided I like this one better. To me, the size of the image makes a difference in how the black comes across. I didn't post the full-size version here, but you can see it at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/stevefretz/32924160762/in/photostream/lightbox/ and decide for yourself whether I made the right choice or not.
Thanks for commenting.
The full size does look better. It also looks like the road would be the same orange color as the background. I was picturing it as neutral, and I think if it were a large orange area it would be distracting.
What's right: the exposure, processing, and the use of selective focus are all on fleek, as the kids say. I'm curious to know how long you've been photographing and how serious you are about it.
What lens and settings did you use on this?

It is an unexpected pleasure to find this thread.. Great shots here, and insightful opinions given. I'll join up and post a couple of my shots soon.
Are there guidelines as to formats allowed (.jpeg, .tiff, etc) and file size?
The best way is to upload your image to a third party site, and then get the URL of the image and insert it here using the image icon at the top of the editing window.

I love the colours of these birds and it's nice to see the colours on them when photographed.
This is the first time I've ever submited a photo for criticism so it will be interesting to see what I might learn.
