Circulay Quay (Sydney) at night

Tricky lighting handled admirably. Nice photo. I would, however, have chosen late evenings when there's still some light in the sky to reveal more details in the buildings.

As a beginner myself, I hesitate to offer a comment, but here goes. (Trying to educate myself rather than anyone else, by analysing what I see).

 

I think the foreground is much too cluttered, especially with the undecipherable sign. If I remember correctly, you could have moved a little to find the same view with nothing but water between you and the buildings, which would have given you interesting reflections as well as removing the clutter.

 

Converging verticals also a problem (inevitable with other than tilt-back camera - view camera?). The building on the extreme left is particularly disturbing, as it leans into the picture.

 

I second the thought about shooting earlier in the evening - but because it could reveal some interesting detail in the sky (clouds?), as well as more details in the building, as stated above.

Thank you David and Martin for your comments. Point taken. This is my first attempt at photography and this is a photo from the first roll ever from an SLR camera. Comments that will help me learn are well appreciated.
