People in Tehran use every holiday opportunity to drive 4 hours up north and spend some time by the Caspian Sea. Here's my HDR attempt and long exposure put together. Shutter: 8,20 and 30 seconds exposure @ F22 Location: Noshahr

Great shot .In July I will be there to try to make a similar shot!

Very nice. What a great range of colours. I'm wondering what the shot would have looked like if the camera had been moved to the left to bring in more of the sea and less of the land (with the right side moved just to the left of the group of people walking on the beach). A simpler shot perhaps, but I'm not sure what was to the left.
In my opinion, these kind of shots (containing a mix of landscape and cityscape) are best achieved when the two blend together. I find the lights and buildings on the right side of the picture to be disorganized and somewhat distracting. In contrast, the dock and the lights around it blend very well with the sea and sky.
A fabulous shot nonetheless. You've mixed long-exposure with HDR techniques perfectly.

@Aaron Schmidt: Thanks Aaron. Sorry for the late reply. I appreciate your criticism a lot and really enjoy reading them and see your point of view. I believe a shot without much of the land and more of the sea was a very good choice and I regret I didn't try it. The sea was dark and I didn't think of it at the moment, and more than that, those orange refections on the water was so tempting. But after I made the HDR at home, I got some feedback on lights not being good on the right side. Have a wonderful day
