great nightshot of my favorite tower! :-) looks like the third is done which it was not during my last visit.
wonderful light, good sharpness and nice details, i would have maybe just cropped a little bit tighter. well done & best wishes, thor.

Hi Gil,
I like the night photo in general. Th towers look great. The perspective is somewhat distorted, though and there are some bright spots close to the edges of the photo. I made a workshop to correct the distortion and remove the disturbing stuff from the edges. I hope you like it.
TFS, Pentti
