Low light & city lights - what would you have done differently? CC Please.

In the last one I don't like the amout of light hitting the rail on the far left of the frame. But I do like the light that is on the model. Control your spill a little better and you've got this shot.

The first shot is fine. It's not a portrait, but the light looks very nice.

The thing I would have done differently is moved her or the camera so that red and blue building or whatever it is wasn't placed right there. Visually it looks like it's extending the girl or something, and it's confusing. Otherwise, it's lovely. It could pass for an environmental portrait of a dancer, in fact, doing a little stretching on her balcony, or whatever. It has a little mystery, a little ambiguity, but a lot of it is quite clear as well. I like it quite a lot.

The way she bends reminds me of that movie the excorcism of Emily Rose.

IMO underexposed works best, I feel if you let too much light in it would of took away from everything especially the background, produced greys where black should be, in fact, in post I would consider adding a dark Vig around it for extra effect, but that is just me.
