Hello Dasha!

One of the best nightshots I have seen since quite a long time, really outstanding photo! The large version is a real delight! Ok, the city is beautiful, but with this capture you have made it look like the most beautiful city of the world! Excellent composition and framing, great job in stiching! Perfect timing for the blue hour, perfect light management, fantastic colours, excellent definition! Goes to my favourites, for sure!

You have a winner here! one of your best!
love how the tree on the right has so mouch light shining onto it.
you deserve alot of credit, as like you said, the bridge deck is moving, and you had to be very patient.
the sky is also very attractive, and the light management - superb.
I can't say enough about this one

Hi Dagmar,

Don't be so modest, you should be very proud of your achievement!

Everybody who has tried panoramic photography knows about the difficulties to create constancy from one frame to the next and to blend them seamlessly.

The timing was well chosen to get the best from the sky and all the golden light, while doubling them in reflection.

So you want suggestions? Okay, two little comments... :-P) The detail from the bridge on the left, next to the frame, isn't necessary in your composition and breaks the nice horizontality of your shot. It would have been a nice idea to use a tree or another element from the other side of the river, but here, it comes out too bright, too present and instead of stopping the eyes to go out of the frame, it actually drag the attention away from the main interest.

The other point is about the flaring light on the right, creating an halo that damage the colour of the sky. Sometime, by using a cardboard or placing yourself between your camera and the light, you can avoid this flair. If it's a far away light source that is too powerful, than you have to change your angle or move away until it doesn't show anymore. The third option, if your point of view is the best possible and you don't want to loose this quality spot, than you have to correct it in your post-processing software, by trying to recuperate the natural colour of the sky and diminish this undesirable effect.

But you are not alone, it happens to me all the time... If I could, I would turned down the switch of parasite spotlights, just the time it takes to do my shots... :-P)

Cheers!
