This is a bridge in Columbus, IN. Obviously during Christmas time. Thank God I had my remote with me because my fingers were getting numb.:P

Requested Critique
I like the composition here very much. You placed the suspension nicely to the right, leaving just the right amount of negative space to add to the appeal.
It's terrific the way the suspensions are colorful.
Your exposure works very well, and I like the way the 4 street lights radiate like stars without being blown out.
The roadway part, with headlight trails, leads in beautifully and carries the eye right to the subject, and frames it well.
The focus is crisp and clean.
I like this very much and scored it high. Good job!

Critique Club Critique
(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) ΓΆ€“ Overall, an excellent capture. But I am bothered (in order) a little by: a) the bright headlight trail; b) the lower left side of the walking bridge; and c) the loop of something that starts at the middle and drops below the 2 center lights..
(2) BACKGROUND ΓΆ€“ Excellent use of the black sky as negative space
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL ΓΆ€“ Very good; excellent focus & DOF. I hope you tried a couple of different exposures. I would like to see the 2 center light less bright. But the outer edges of the bridge may have been too dark. If you had slid left a tad, would the bridge have blocked those lights?
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL ΓΆ€“ no recommendations.
(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO ΓΆ€“ A beautiful photo, which could have been even better with some tweaks in the composition.

Does look like a Christmas tree - this picture is strangely aesthetically pleasing. Nice use of negative space.

Like the composition and colors. Good DOF, exposure etc.
The background is a bit empty, but that also focusses attention to the bridge.
When it is doing bad in the challenge, it is perhaps that is was a bit hard to see that the central line of light was caused by cars passing. I only saw that the second time.
Good photo.

awesome picture, think it would of been more appealing with the cars light on closer to the bottom and lose the walkway. just a thought
