A late evening shot of the the Rion-Antirrion Bridge.

The photograph was taken using a Sony a100, which I was lucky enough to have for the whole weekend (-: Since I don't own it, I didn't add it to my camera list.

Curves adjustment in raw, converted to TIFF, just a bit of spot editing to remove a few stars, crop, resize, smart sharpen, saved for web.

I was curious when you posted to the Sony Alpha thread about using the camera for this challenge. I am in the market to get one of these cameras, and the last thing to sell me on it is the images that are produced with it.
Your color is wonderful on this one, but I would like to see better focus. The fact that you used iso 400 gives me a good idea of noise with this camera. I don't see any discernable noise, and given the exposure of the bridge, that is a good thing. I do like the image, but I agree with the comments that the lower left is distracting, and I would have liked to see more of the bridge if possible. Could you clone out the spire on the left?

I think you would have been better off with only one of these bridge supports in the picture. the tip of the one is just distracting.

Almost magical with interesting blue hue interplay. 7

I find the lower left tower distracting and would prefer the shot with that cropped out. Really like the lighting on the right tower and the cables. Very nice.

Very cool. Lot's of lovely blue tones to look at. I really like the composition. The second "thing" (for lack of a better word) in the bottom left really balances the pic well. I also like the way the cables seem to drift off into nothing as the color deepens.

very cool. I like how the bridge stays fade away into the background. Well done.

Bad composition in my opinion.
I don't know what I'm looking at.
And the thing in the bottom left is bothersome.

Composition is lovely. I think I might have tried to get rid of the spire in the background, but the fact that its in focus is cool. I like it.

Very nice. Wish I could see more of the bridge.

Love the colors and lines. I'd crop just to the right of the second blue. But that's just me. ;)

nice. very abstact.

I would suggest cropping tighter on the left - eliminating the small peak altogether as it is distracting. The composition is not helped by it at all. In fact, cropping the left right up to the bottom of the wires would really help this in my mind.
