    I’m baffled by this photo. It is objectively below average and yet it’s being shared here like it’s some brilliant work of photographic genius.

    • horizon doesn’t match the cropping and doesn’t do anything interesting that would make it seem intentional.

    • random roofs of tents are creeping into frame and again, they don’t seem intentional

    • underexposed and muddy

    • it’s shot at sunset but we don’t even get the hint of extreme contrast that sunset offers. Did you shoot a jpeg in a situation that would have been far better with raw and post-processing? It certain seems like it by the look of the blown out street lights.

    I honestly could take a better photo by just waving a camera around and taking massive amounts of photos then selecting one.
