This is really a nice reflection shot Lisa and you did so many things right. It's center weighted, perfect for a strong reflection. And it's level, very hard to do sometimes in that light, and it's sharp and well composed. I like it.I would suggest, however, that you tone down the brightness of the bridge lights, also a bit on the tower, both top and reflection, and on the sign at the top of the left tower, and it's reflection. Small issues, for sure, but would help the overall look I believe. #1501902

I agree with Dale. The bright highlights are the only suggestion I would have made. The color combinations are pleasing. I like the strong, black foreground. #10451092Elaine Hessler December 04, 2012
Wow this is a good one. I agree 100% with dale, just those area look a bit overexposed. The colors, reflection, and buildings are great. Nice job! #10451158Jeff E Jensen December 04, 2012
Yup, Dale is right, all it needs is an adjustment to the highlights. #10451234Michael Kelly December 04, 2012
Beautiful night scene with great reflections. I agree just a reduction of highlights and this is good to go #10451403Rita K. Connell December 05, 2012
I love the reflections and how smooth the water is. I clarity is very nice indeed. agree about toning the highlights down a tad. this is a winter for sure! #10452202Debbie E. Payne December 05, 2012
This is a very interesting image, Lisa. Love the intensity of the colors but would have to agree that you could tone down the lights just a tad. Like Rita said, "a winner for sure!" #10452758Peter W. Marks December 06, 2012
I have nothibg to add Lisa. Thanks for showing us some more of a place we probably will never visit. #10453068Beth Spencer December 06, 2012
