David- "The contrast between the deep blue sky and the golden slumbers of the water make this photo powerful.
Darby- "The use of movement is spectacular. It reflects the fast pace of city life."
Kevin (from Nashville)- "I think it is a surreal shot that reminds me of home"
Bear- "The blurred river boat is distracting in what is otherwise a great photo."
Nick- "Hey Bear, I like the riverboat. I think with its long streaks of red and yellow fires of fun are strong against the specks of white lights of the city."
Martin- "I like the aura above the city that fades to beautiful blue and off into our dreams."

Thanks for the input on the Nashville nights picture. this picture was taken with the desire to bring out colors and contrast. I chose to blur the river boat to bring some contrast to the shot. The blur of the boat brought about motion against a still city shot and brought a lot more color with the glow of the reflection.I took this night shot with a Canon A2, with Kodak 400 film at a 5.6 f stop / 1 sec shutter speed. The sun had just gone down, it was not the dark of night, or I wouldn't have captured the dark blue/almost purple sky for a perfect background. I was looking for the blur to make this a fun "party boat" feel. ~ d. baer #2383
