Excellent capture of this impressive Stone Arch Bridge over the Mississippi and I like the angle you used for this, showing the clear reflections of the bridge and lights and buildings in the calm water. Lovely night time scene. Very good lighting and focus showing a lovely crisp image. Very nice composition. Suzanne

I love the perspective in this photo. I also love how you have played the warm orange off the blue sky. As I looked at it I was reminded of the Roman aqueducts. I know you can't do much about the weather. But a little mist especially entering the city or to have softend the outlines of the buildings would have given it a sense of mystery and magic

    Thanks John for the comments and suggestion. Yes, a little mist would have given this a real touch of interest for sure.
    I will have to wait until that is forecast and try it again.

What a cool night shot Allan. I see that it placed in the contest and rightly so. The scene has such a unique look and feel to it. The lighting under the arches is great as well as the reflections on the water. Good perspective as it leads the eye to the far reaches of the scene. Great work Allan and Congratulations ~ Steve

This is a beautiful shot. You did a great job composing your image and I really like the light affects on the lights with the star rays very effective! Excellent visual impact and initial impact. Very nice reflection off the water and a bonus with a nice textures. Your lighting and exposure are very well-controlled. Excellent technique with high technical excellence. Well done!

Regards,
Paul

Interesting subject , well captured with good placement of subject in frame, well focused, the image is clear, well exposed with vivid colors.

Excellent diminishing perspective along the line of the bridge. The star burst effect of the bridge lights and their reflection add so much character and mood to this piece.

Your vanishing viewpoint creates great depth.

After reviewing this piece I would say you have a strong sense for night shooting.

Your camera technique is well thought out and produces a fine image.

Another great shot of this bridge could be had if you can find a vantage point looking down at the traffic. Use you stated technique and you will have great automobile light streaks.

This take is very good night shot. Keep shooting, the more you shoot the better you get. Don't be afraid to experiment, you might surprise yourself ... B-)) Bob

I am really enjoying this image very much. It is beautifully framed and shows great detail, depth, and dimension. It should be framed and proudly displayed for many to view and enjoy.
Great harmonious color. The lighting and exposure are perfect!
A true eye catcher and very pleasant image.

Comment from Linda Wetzel


I like the watercolor deep blues of the night sky. The diminishing perspective of the bridge leading to the city skyline at night is pleasing. The lights in the middle of the arches of the bridge give the brick work a beutiful caramel brown and gold glow that adds a soft touch to the hard surface. The reflections in the water add to the dreamy summer night feel.
