Thy both look out of focus. I'm guessing your not using a tripod like these low light shots need.

Good shot, but this is the "people" subforum. I locate no people in this shot...

I can see only one image of the illumined castle...and that has come out very nice

I noticed that after I posted it, but could not figure out how to move it...

I was trying to DIY the post and move it, but one of the pictures deleted instead... Thanks

Hi Callenm, welcome to ThePhotoForum.
Whenever you do night photography, you HAVE to make use of a tripod or - in case you couldn't bother to carry one from the States to China - a very high ISO (which will result in quite some noise, depending on which camera you use), but at least it might offer you shutter speeds that you can still hold still. Seems like in the case of the one photo still showing you couldn't, so you get blur.

Awesome... Thanks for the suggestion. It is so hard to pack for a business trip and bring my toys...

If you can't bring a tripod, look for something to prop the camera on, like a wall or railing.

In addition to what the others have said, a wider shot showing more of the reflection would have taken this to the next level in terms of composition.
