**** Greeting from the Critique Club ****
Challenge
- Relevant to the Challenge? Yes. It's one of the few skylines in this challenge that actually shows activity (life/living/liveliness) through the capture of the car lights.
- Is subject unique (vs. unoriginal or rehashed)? Yes
Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? I like the viewpoint down the length of the bridge, with lower Manhatten off to the left. I do agree with the comments about the horizontal brace being a major negative aspect to the image. Maybe a couple of feet higher would drop this down whileblocking less of the traffic and waterfront.
- Good use of Depth of Field? Yes. The skyline is in focus as are the rivets on the right.
Lighting
- Good use of light? Tough question. This is a hard photo to pull off. Long exposure with several very strong light sources in the frame. Using me fingers to block out the two brightest improves the image, but as shot there isn't anything that you could do. The lights on the suspension cables are captured beautifully. I like the shadows and reflections on the beam on the right as well. I don't mind the lens flare to be honest.
Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- Colors and Contrast. Due to the lighting, there are a variety of colors in the image: the orange of the street light hidden near the middle, the red and white of the car lights, the green of the suspension cable lights.
- Sharpness. For a 10 sec exposure, it's quite sharp. I assume handheld using the beam as a base. My only complaint here is the lighing makes the bridge tower in the background soft.
- What is my reaction or feelings? Overall the image strikes me as being cold. I wish I could expain it better.
Congratulations on your highest placing and highest scoring image to date. |

| Good shot, my initial reaction is that the two really bright lights (one lower left and one upper right) are a little distracting. For some reason it seems tilted to the right maybe rotate just a tad? The long exposure really helps in my opinion despite the fact that I complained about the bright lights. Overall, I like it.............. |

| Watch the spelling in your title. Other than that it's quite a good shot of Brooklyn Bridge |

| Wow, looks beautiful and a dangerous place to take a picture. Love the lines of light. Sure wish that support beam wasnt in the middle there. |

| Interesting composition, love the combination of bridge, skyline, and head/tail-lights. I wonder if you could have moved forward to get the cross-beam lower or out of the frame. Nice. |

| Liked the combination of clear city outline and streaked traffic lights, think it might have been more effective from a vantage point that more of the city--the road seems to dominate a bit too much |

| Great capture. I like the composition and the way it leads the eyes through the shot. The colors and layers here make it very interesting too. One of my favorites in this challenge.... 8 |

| This could have been so much better had that walkway/girder not split the inage in half. Obviously you can't avoid this but perhaps a different composition would hav reduced the effect. I think part of the problem is that the girder gives the impression of a sloping horizon. Still, a nice shot and well done for climbing up there to get the shot! |

| the beam running through the middle of your pic distracts from an otherwise very pleasing shot! |

| Composition is ok. The choice of subject matter is ok. The image quality is ok. Has potential of being really creative. - 5 |

| Photo itself is too busy -- is it a photo of the cityscape, the bridge, the traffic, the glare of the bridge lights? |
