Looking for comments/suggestions.

I haven't added it to my online galleries yet so I've made a direct link for the time being.

Looks very nice. How long was the exposure for? The right hand pillar looks like it would have overexposed if you had left it any longer. The jetty on the bottom right is also getting on the bright side so you must have got it just right.

There are so many shots of the bridge around that is so hard to do something new. Having said that I think you've done a great job of bringing out the interesting colours at dusk.

What would have been great is a couple of clouds to add a bit of drama but you can't do much about that can you.

Great work.
Regards

A very nice balanced shot with great colours and good sharpness.

I agree would make a great print to hang

Good looking shot there Geoff - I like it. I'm really in to the bridge at night at the moment. Always like it when I find out I'm not alone.
WHat time was that taken?

Cracking!!

it's a classic shot - i've taken almost exactly the same one!

Image

(click to zoom)

it looks like they've changed the lighting of the pylons since i took this photograph a couple of years ago - it used to be yellow-ish, but from your photo now it's bright white. also it looks like some of the lighting currently isn't working - the underside of the eastern arch is lit but the underside of the western arch isn't

Outstanding. I took a few shots late Monday night but they weren't quite up to it.

Enlarge, frame and hang this photo somewhere so many can enjoy it!

This is great Geoff. I love long exposures after sunset. Really brings out different colours. I'm in two minds as to whether a little less water and a bit more sky would work better.

Thadd & Jeff, Both very good pics. Interesting to see the slight differences that a couple of years can make. I agree that both shots would like fantastic frames and on the wall.
