All the lighting is natural. Just an amazing location on a good night
seemed to be a very good balance between the lights.

David,
Beautiful, interesting and enjoyable. Consider perhaps using a landscape format? What do you think? Just an idea, not a necessity!

This picture seems very attractive but i am frustrated as i can't discern details : too small for me, i'm sorry.

thanks for the compliment, it was a good find as the light is all natural no gelled strobes or anything.
I did actually try it both ways, the horizontal did not quite do it justice
(I was as curious as you !!) , the ground has a weird slope to it in that lot, Im guessing for rain runoff, I might go back and re-look at the scene next full moon.
About the size, I know the details are a tad small, in print, or even @ 800 px tall it comes to life.
There is always a balance in posting, I dont want to post larger then 800w or 600tall for copyright reasons, and I dont really want to watermark anything here as it really bugs lots of people to watermark stuff.
I'll try to see if I can post larger in my next posts, im still debating it... At least you can know where Im coming from, Ive had issues with photos of mine on flickr ending up somewhere else... gosh darn it...

David,
Maybe try adding 100% crops of points of interest when you need to allow only a smaller jpg to be online! Have you considered taking overlapping verticals and stitching. You'd have more detail and a nice generous horizontal scene*.
I do hope you will keep working on this one scene.

*The teachers who tell us to frame close and crop closer are mostly wrong. A picture needs to breathe and unless there is a practical need to present as photographed (as in a shoot with an art director leaning over your shoulder or glued to the monitor), wider is always better. We are hardly ever short of pixels. That's, BTW a good point in shooting with a 6x6 format. One knows very well one the AD has the option of at least 3 forms of final choice.

Although you'd be suprised how much a little black border allows it to breathe !

well done IMHO-
it attracts the mind like a butterfly*
love the colors-it almost feels a place to go when you need to hide if you were running away-sort of twilight zone kinda thing, really cool-
