A beautiful night scene of Rio with all the color city lights. Makes me want to go there. You did a good job on the exposure for this shot capturing the city lights, the dark mountains and the blue ocean. Well done with fine camera techs.

The contrast really makes the lights stand out but darkens the land too much.
But from another perspective it also gives you the extra defiance of the mountains.
Love the angle.
Good luck on the contest :)

The colors are striking and the composition is very well done. However, the detail is lost in the hills and the lights in the city and on the beach are not sharp. Love the contrasting blue and yellow colors on the left.

The colors in this shot is nice. My only critique is that the black in the fore front is too much. I know its a mountain and I know its shot at night but its too distracting. Nice other than that.

Very interesting shot of Copacabana - the blue sky is a very outstanding contrast to the night colors of the city and mountains - just the ocean line and sky is clear . Great position and contrast - good luck for the contest

Wow this has to be one of the most beautiful night shots of a city I've seen. Gorgeous lighting, clarity and vibrance. So amazing!

I agree, it is a beautiful view. Nice choice for the contest.
I really like the lights along the ocean front. The black division between the lights help set this photo off.
Good luck in the contest
