 The Story Bridge in Brisbane. I only had time to take one shot from this angle, but miraculously it came out nice and crisp. I thought about re-shooting at an earlier time in the day, but a) I'm way too lazy for that and b) I really like the way the dark sky isolates the bridge from everything else.

The end result - no pretty sunset colours, but an image that (at least I hope) isn't your standard postcard shot.

Cool shot. I like all the little starbursts on each bulb, and yet they aren't overexposed. Well done.

Those lights are beautiful - they make the bridge look absolutely stunning. I wish I could have seen it myself!

Postcard. This should be at least a top 10. Can't think of anything to suggest that would make this any better, other than you giving me credit for taking the shot! Beautiful. 10

It would have been really good had you been able to clone out the bright elements beneath the bridge. I rather like the prominent stanchion at the right of the image.

I like the way all the lights radiate. You probably could of gotten a little more color out of this. The structure of the bridge is not too noticable. I guess try using a slower shutter.
