Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

Beautiful night capture with great colors! I like the twinkling lights in the background. The flags on top of the photo are a bit distracting, maybe the image would be more beautiful if you crop the photo?

@Monique: Thanks for the tip, I will try that :)

Another great night time capture, the colours are wonderful. Was this hand held again? You have a very steady hand if it is!

@Craig: yes almost all of my shots are handheld as I go on subway or PATH train most times when I go out shooting I generally dont carry my tripod, but am going to try and take it occasionally

Is this more recent? I see some Christmas trees in the background. The statue glows - good job.

I have already seen this statue on this site, I know now where from it comes. Your moment of shoot, at night, is a good choice because he allows to highlight this golden painting ;)

The illumination is excellent, great colors. Sounds a posh place you visited.

Beautifull glowng light to this golden statue. It is a nice image but I would have isolated only the statue. My opinion. It all depends on what you the photographer are looking to accomplish.
I recall having a snapshot of me taken in front of this statue.
Somehow it looks smaller in your imge than it really is. Very nice JJ.

Another nice symbol!
Great light, too.
Perhaps, you could make a narrow square frame with the right bottom part, my two cents :)
