 Shot this at Roberto Clemente Bridge. It was actually a pretty fun night.

Me and my girlfriend went out to shoot some night shots (I drag her along when she can go) -- and she usually sits in the jeep, but it was quite scary under that bridge but not as scary as some of the other places we were tonight shooting pics.

Overall this one turned out the best because of the lighting that the bridge has on it. I cropped, desaturated the photo, and adjusted levels to brighten (I hope I didn't brighten it too much) -- USM and neat image.

I absolutely love this photo and am so glad you did it in black and white! The exposure is perfect! The balance couldn't be better. Very nice photo!

Thanks everyone for the comments -- 21st place, that is just great!

I know it looks sort of like it's not cropped straight, but the bridge actually has a bend in it because the two shorelines are on different angles.

Again, thanks a lot for the feedback this was one of the more fun shots I've taken and the most rewarding thus far!

Lovely, crisp, great light and reflection. The brickwork adds great texture to the photo. This should be a top 10 in my opinion.

Stunning, especially with the reflections in the river.

Wow! Stunning photo. I would just change the cropping slightly so that the bridge doesn't cut right throught the middle of the photo. I would crop up from the bottom. Brilliant range of values and shape motif. The circles and retangles plus the vertical lines complement each other rather than compete against each other. This is a beautiful picture: great angle, light, and value range.

I liek your use of the frame - foreground leading to background, and the reflections in the water. Nice work.

Pretty nice job of balancing the lighting to hold detail in the dark areas without grossly overexposing the light. 7

my favorite old time ballplayer when I was growing up. I lived in LA so I was for the dodgers at the time but when he get up to bat I wanted for him to get a hit. Nice capture and image.

Would have been a better picture if you had taken down that sign. Just kidding! Very dramatic. 7
