This is great. Love the contrast of twilight on the left and darkness on the right. Really excellent exposure control.

What a lovely mood! I'm with Ron regarding your beautiful composition... and I also enjoy very much the subtle details / textures captured in the shadow areas. Superb find and capture!

Very mysterious and lovely light which does not seem to be from the lamps. And the shrine reclusive behind the trees gives one a feeling of something beyond the everyday. You have given this place a very mystical ambiance or perhaps captured it beautifully.

Aw, that light adds so much mood to this picture. I like it how the left side is well-lighted and the darker areas are dark but decorated with these awesome lamps.

You captured the peaceful atmosphere of the place, controlling with "maestria" the exposure.
