Manhattan on the Rocks [explored]

A nice early spring evening in Manhattan and I decided to venture down to my favorite spot, the old pier pilings beside Brooklyn Bridge park. Sadly, the sunset didn't amount to much but the nice thing about this spot is that a good blue hour reflection is still very colorful here. I've done this shot before, but this time I decided to get the rocks in the foreground in to the picture. The green on the rocks is pretty vivid, especially lit from behind by the big lights in the park. I toned down the vivid green tones a bit, but even still, I'm not sure whether the foreground works or distracts with its brightness.

 

I tried using my new Pentax 24-70mm lens here for a closer shot, but it didn't look as good to me so I went back to the 12-24mm (@14mm). This is a 30s exposure with the Pixel Shift feature (meaning it's actually 4 images).
