Hi Julie, I love this shot just how it is.

In the hope that we get something going here and talk to one another I will comment on this image. If it was taken in JPG I would have set the white balance to match the lighting conditions, I would not have used a star filter and I would have waited till it was a bit later and made an attempt to include a boat and movement in the water, If taken in RAW as all of my images are I would have put it through a RAW developer and carried out colour correction, I might have changed the composition so the bridge had the effect of leading you into the image instead of cutting it in half, this is my view only and it might be different to yours, what do you think. Cheers, Terry.

I like this photo of the bridge because it's taken from an angle that isn't seen very often. I would be very drawn to the actual pylons from this angle and would have tried to get a close up of them.

My comment is in regard to my original comment on the image, it still has not appeared here, I still say the use of star filters is not something I would ever consider and the WB looks like it was set to tungsten, OK if you are using off camera flash with a gold tint filter to correct the blue cast and pointing that flash at a model or person but not on a cityscape. I would likt to see better colour in the sky and lots of clouds, hey; but that's me.
Cheers, Terry.

Hi Susi,

Glad you like the shot. I wanted to let you know that I did get some close ups of the Pylon. And thanks for your feedback Terry. This was a great practice weekend. I got lots of shots at all different times of the day and night, morning and evening, rain and sunshine. I agree with most of your comments. (I still like the star filter, I think it adds a fun element, but I guess when you see this picture on it's own, and not with all the others it would be better without).
Thanks Chris, you're a darling!

Cheers, Julie
P.S. Finally found where all these comments were hiding. (Secret location so secret that even I couldn't find it)
