Hmm, I like both of those. Where did the noise come from in today's

Both are nicely done.  This new one is the better of the two.  It has a little 
more drama and interest to it.  Color becomes you!  Keep it up.

Excellent photo. Some ideas about cover of a sci fi novel or a comics 
book ran through my mind.


Interestingly enough, Frank, I've a stereotype of you in my mind's eye - 
small camera, small lens. The idea of you using the biggish Tokina 
80-200/2.8 on a monopod is, how to put it, peculiar... Evidently my 
stereotype is not right and I don't grok at all, but as a passing 
emotion that I experienced looking at your photo and reading the tech. 
data, I think it is worth mentioning.

they're both nice in their way, but the one you showed last week is orders
of magnitude better than the 2nd, simply because of that one prominent
light. Pity there are one or to other lights, but that one alone sets the
imagination running.

I shot that one at ISO 1600 since it was still quite dark.  I guess
the clouds were a bit underexposed, hence the noise.  Last week's The
Quiet City was shot at ISO 400.  It was quite a bit brighter by then.
I'd guess the two shots were taken about 1/2 hour apart.

Thanks for the kind words, and thanks to everyone else who commented!
