Took this a few months back. You really do feel a sense of complete relaxation when taking photos like this at night. C&C welcome and thanks in advance!

A potentially interesting shot, but severely underexposed.

Come on, this is not severely underexposed. Even on my dark phone screen it looks fine. If i bumped up the exposure loads, the details would be blown severely.

Here's a brighter one for comparison but personally, I think some of the atmosphere I loved in the first is gone now.

it is severely under-exposed. There is alot of area with absolutely no details in the shadows. It is an interesting shot though.

Are we talking first or second? Problem is, maintaining detail in the whole picture creates a slightly washed out picture.

Check the histogram if you don't believe us. It's underexposed.
When shooting night shots, you should try to expose to the right and pull down in post.

It's like 3 stops underexposed. :scratch:

Good composition though.
