LA Live at night

[FireStorm]

I took this one awhile back. It's actually my first time playing around with the exposure and ISO settings. I'm overall pleased with the outcome, but the composition kind of bugs me. thoughts?

3 second exposure ISO set to 200

First impression (thoughts?) - that tower right in the middle is what bothers me - it is where the viewer's eye goes, almost immediately, at least mine did. I think it might have been better offset to the left or right "thirds" position. The vegetation on the right as well as the signs ($1000 for littering - whoa!) are also a little distracting. I might have dropped the ISO to 100 and tried a longer exposure. That might have given you continuous streaks of lights with no obvious starts or stops - don't know, just thinking that might be possible. HTH.

Try rotating the image to the right just a hair or until the tall building is "straight."
