Hi Tayseera,

Great choice of subject for a first night shot! This building has super graphic appeal and the lights are really nice. If you're interested I think I can give you two tips to make this photo even better. The first is to shoot this about 1 hour after sunset. It'll make the sky a nice deep blue that will allow for more detail in the shadows and will really make the lights look gorgeous. The second is to back up just slightly to avoid tilting the camera to fit the top of the spire. Tilting causes what is called "converged verticals" and you'll notice the tower leaning every so slightly to the left. This can easily be fixed in Photoshop too. Night shots are fun aren't they? Great job.

Cheers!

Bob G.
