My faves are the two of the valley at twilight...I almost always prefer twilight shots over night shots in urbanized settings like that. Good vantage point from up there in the hills.

Thanks Derrel, am looking at going a little further above this position to get the whole sweep of the elevated motorway across the next valley - I've shot the other way before from the mountain you can see in the background.

I like them all but I would tone down the orange from the high pressure sodium street lights. I get that a lot shooting at night.

Thanks. I did try editing it in a way that diminished the orange light, but reducing the saturation like you have done made the image look washed out and changing the white balance made the sky too blue.

Well may have gone to far but use the individual color sliders to take down the orange not the global saturation or WB. I only took the saturation down on the orange and yellow.
