Bologna's Evening

I was coming back to my friend house in bologna and in the city center (part of his heritage) I believed the sky was far darker than what really was...
So when I arrived at this crossroad that let me see far... I found a nice spot to shoot a photo of...

I tried a flare effect dirtying the glass... I think the result are not perfect... but they are neither awful!

I could use a too high exposition as the road was full of moving cars... so I had to try several setting in order to get te best result...
The exif say I shot this at exposure of 1/20 second and with a f/3.2
