    When you spend time under sodium vapor lamps, the eyes (the brain actually) naturally filter out the orange. so what the camera records isn't really what a person might have seen. And your camera/software is trying to retain detail in the concrete rafters at the expense of the detail in the area below it. It's giving it that washed out look rather then a dingier city night scene.

    Just sayin'.

    Yeah, I have a lot of trouble figuring out light :p

    Thanks for the tip, but how did you do that? I really like the middle pic that you did, the last was a little unnatural.

    Here's one I tweaked (WB only, I don't know how you 'pulled' detail from my first shot):

    I've whittled down my CityCo Open City entries to three shots. Feedback is welcome as always, and fingers crossed one of them gets chosen for the exhibition!

    So I got some help from Darkened over email. Here's what I did to the earlier pic. Thanks also due to JJ for identifying a problem for me.

    Some from the walk to dinner this evening, some from being very bored before that.

    Love number 4!

    It's beautiful, the illumination from the street lamps upon the trees and ground really creates a surreal effect. :D
