City Competition 4 2014 - all cities! : Entry Number 198

The perfect arraignment of the compositional elements in this image helps create a soothing calm space that draws the viewer in. The photographer’s use of blue tone marries nicely to this superbly crafted night still.

Wow, what a nice surprise! Thank you to the judge for the mark of excellence. My Name is Udo Siebertz and I'm from Siegburg (Germany). This photo was shot in Cologne, near the crane house buildings. The situation with the clear Buildings, empty place and the lonely bike in the foreground had been catch me. In post production with Lightroom 5.6 from a RAW file, I gave these picture a little blue touch. So it was perfect for me. This was one of my first photos with my new camera, the Canon 5D MK III. Lens: EF 17-40mm f/4L USM. Settings: 17mm / f8. ISO 200 and 6 seconds exposure time. Regards, Udo
