I really like the second one, very good. I would be interested to see how it would look without the building in the top right corner.

Not a big fan of the first one though, it just seems like there is too much going on. Mostly with the bottom right corner, where the cars pull out. I find the yellow sign distracts me as well. Beautiful background though.

Just left click on the very top of the window, hold and pull the window to one side and the other. Also move the slider on the right up and down. Then you get a quick crop without an actual crop,

Very well done! I love the look of city-scape at night, especially with cars moving in and out of the frame.

Both are simply outstanding, 5 star if I've ever seen one.

Nice clean results - this is the kind of result I've been wanting to see since the K10D.
Thanks for sharing.

I'm impressed, is this right out of the K5 or was there any sort of PP?

It might be time to upgrade

Well, I like both of them. The building came through so clean and sharp looking and the color is wonderful. If you cropped maybe the bottom bit off the first one just above the white hash mark in the middle it would bring the lights near the corners and may (or may not) improve a shot I would be happy with anyway.
