Description Yep, another Panorama.

La Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències (The City of the Arts and the Sciences) holds some of the most impressive buildings designed by Santiago Calatrava.

This is one of them: the Hemisferic. It's kind of an Imax theater, but way cooler.

Sorry if it's a little shaky, but I didn't have a tripod ._. I gotta get one.

Just for the record, The City of the Arts and the Sciences is in Valencia, Spain.

Amazing photo, the stark yellows and whites of the theatre contrast beautifully with the black background.

The reflections are mirror-like and beautiful as well.
Great photo.

Thanks, I like the word "amazing"

The photo could have been a little better if I had used a tripod, but I don't have one ._.
I hope I will be able to get one and a reflex camera in the future.

Sorry for the very very late reply

Let's see... first, being a panorama, it has a different resolution that may put out many people from looking into this photograph, as it requires full-view. The thumb doesn't make this justice at all!

What I like about this picture is the light patterns we see on the right side of the water surface; it almost feels as if the lights are scratching the water and it presents a wonderful texture as a result. I also like the little lights and the way you captured those buildings on the right side as well.

Now for some points that strucked me as a viewer:

There is too much black in this picture! You can notice this particularly well on the thumb and, while I'm not a photography expert, I'm pretty sure something could be improved here in terms of filling space/angles. It seems it has too much emptiness and that emptiness draws our attention into it.

The colour scheme - I'm not too fond of it; it looks very monotonous and doesn't attract me much. I don't know how can this be improved unless you try different levels/curves/saturation/colour balance/some other image modification program.

Bits of the bridge in the right and left below spaces - I don't like them very much.

Reflection of the big building in the water - although I enjoyed looking at the smaller reflections, this one looked a bit... odd. I don't know if this relates to you saying the photo is a bit shaky, but the building itself looks much more interesting and I can only imagine how good it'll look on daylight!

I hope this has been helpful
