Jeez, that's some photograph. It's "wish I was there" type.

amazing photo. would perhaps benefit from a bit of detail in the foreground. try pushing the exposure by 1/2 a notch or maybe a full notch. in low light like this and if ni doubt on the exposure, overexposed is better than under-. Once you've captured the detail, it's easier to darken a photo.
But still a cracking photo and deserves pow.

Cheers for the technical pointers Bob.

What Bob says is true for film, but completely fails for digital. DO NOT over expose digital, once the highlights are blown (all three RGB are 255, i.e. white), detail is lost forever, unlike film which has a exposure "tail". If you can, Shoot RAW, as you can recover 1 or 2 blown RGB channels during conversion. Keep up the great work Jamie.

Cheers for that Chris, I will bear that in mind & experiment with shooting in RAW format
