tnx!

Outstanding work. Love the colors. I wish the details were a lot tighter, maybe if you use a f/22. Someone told me that is the best for night cityscape images.

Thank you very much for the comment and the fav.
In normal circumstances I'd use a higher f number but here I was on a tower at a windy night with only short pauses in wind.
The only reason for less detail is the jpeg compression used here I always try to make my pictures as small as possible with the best possible quality but there is always some loss in detail.
In the original picture its sharp enough to get the type of the car parking in front of the building with the blue letters
thank you very much for sharing your thoughts.

You are very welcome. I do understand where you are coming from. I never thought of that, I trained myself to over sharpen thing for the web and for some reason I think that everyone does that. Awesome work by the way.
