I like that you stretch your Artistic wings when you paint as well as when you pick up your camera.
If more members worked on their craft worried less about rank...we would all be learning and growing.
You have a great angle showing fine leading lines and Superb architectural details.
Your use of low light is working well with fine camera techs.
Beautiful night Photography Allan.
;)

    Thanks for your kind comments. This was a fun shoot as we were all rather novices to night shooting. By the end of the night we all helped each other to accomplish some nice shots. Worried about rank, me not so much! :) Thanks for the review.

Think this is a good use of perspective in this and has that nice subdued use of color,its slight underwhelmed in color but I think that makes for a good photo,really nice one this...Brian

Beautiful work! I like the clouds in the sky and the angle upwards. The lights on the bridge and skyline make a stunning photo. Your eye is amazing! Well done

Tis is a very nice image that captures the scene very well. I like the diagonal orientation of the bridge in the shot. I think that the light under in the first arch is too strong and could be pulled down some and still work. As it is, it demands a lot of attention and pulls the eye back from the rest of the picture. The colors are a strong element in the shot. The reflections are also well seen. The lit building in the background works to pull everything together. Well composed and well taken.

    Hey Charles thanks much for the detailed review. I appreciate your suggestions as they make me look at the image again through another set of eyes, that is great.

A beautiful night capture of the bridge and view across the Mississippi River. I like the way the leading line from the bridge draws you into this scene and into the city's architecture and lights in the vast distance. Taken under a beautiful sky with multi blue colors and nice reflection from the lights on the bridge. Perfect cropped and well composed shot with an excellent composition. A captivating scene! Outstanding work and thanks for sharing! Cyber 10!

Fantastic photo. The composition with the bridge leading to the city, with straight lines and round arches and reflections on the water make for a very interesting picture. The lighting is excellent and the colors are very rich. Focus and depth of field are also very well done, which can be difficult at night.

What a beautiful shot. I love the way you took this from the side instead of head on. It makes the shot so much more interesting to look at the guides the eye into the shot. The lighting, reflection and placement of focal point are perfect. Visually stunning composition.

Stone bridge to be sure. It is a lovely bridge and the photo shows it off beautifully especially the reflection in the Mississippi. I am impressed with all the info that the photographer gave on how the picture was taken. That makes the photograph all the more special. The focus is right on, the colors are delightful. So very well done.

Liking this photo. The time of day is just right to catch the twilight of the sky and the lighting is sufficient to capture the bridge and the subjects in the background.
