Nice composition, Eric! I like how the line of lights leads my eye to the Pyramid Building. The sky shape is terrific too. I just realized this is an HDR - good work!

I'll third the lights leading the eyes comments, that's just fantastic. Text-book perfection! Great HDR too (I don't like the ones that are too obviously HDR, yours isn't).

Dramatic composition !
(what did the original shot look like, Eric? ..... what was your criteria for choosing to process this as hdr??? was there too much contrast in the scene??? the buildings and the sky had too much range to get all in one shot? ..... the sky would have been blown out if you exposed for the buildings and the buildings would have been underexposed if you exposed for the sky?? )

in any case this looks like you get the entire range of darks to brights that your eye can see in such a scene. nicely done!!

Yes, I used HDR to deal with the extream contrast sepeciall between the streetlights and the shadow areas. I've been playing with HDR lately to see what it can do, not as a special effect tool, but as a photographic tool to handle difficult photographic situations.
