Mike, I like the first, fourth, and fifth shots really well, but I feel more cropping is needed on the fourth shot. The other two have too much extra background light. Maybe if the backgrounds were darker the colors of the lights would pop more.

Plus here are a couple of additional shots from that shoot.

I like this one, but I would prefer a more balanced look with less foreground and more sky showing above the buildings.
I've been to that exact spot a couple times... good location
I really like your fourth photo. Good drama, positioning and exposure IMO.
Nice shots.... i need to go out and try night shots but never have.. i do like the 4th photo!
Mike, I like the lightened up version of the first shot. I nearly missed the boats the first time I looked at the picture. I think it's a great addition to the foreground.

Christine, (and anyone else that would like to meet up), I am going downtown Centralia on Saturday night for some shooting. The window displays in all the antique shops are calling my name along with all the neon of the taverns and other downtown businesses on Tower Street. I really don't like to do the night stuff alone, so would you like to join me? I am thinking early dark, like around sundown at about 5:00pm for a couple of hours. That should be good for twilight and night shots. Hopefully the theater and all the murals will be lit as well.
