I really like this shot. Re blacks - it might be fun to see a different black point, but I like this treatment a lot. Remember that there is a lot of light pollution in the London sky. And if it was more black, the contrast with the black buildings & roofs would be lost.

Thank you very much, Traveller for your friendly—and much appreciated—comment! As far as the black point goes, I always find it difficult to find the right balance between nuances of light and colors on one hand, and on the other one contrast. I usually decide (as I did here) in favor of the different «shades of gray» ... and of color(s). ~ db.

Now this is nice; it catches your eye immediately....good clarity, good depth. I'd like to see a larger version maybe and set the black point in Levels with a deeper black, (I add these notes only because I like the image so much and know how hard this shot is....and 30 seconds is a nice thought on this shot).
