 A bridge heading to city center over the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton. This wasn't the shot I wanted to enter but I had problems with one particular stupid bright lit building constantly ruining the shot I did want to enter. I won't name names, but it's the MacDonald Hotel. (Someone tell them you don't need to see their hotel at night from space).

strange post-process!? I seems that the colors have been selectively hue reversed?
I don't think it works for me : i don't really like the resulting colors

Very cool shot. I like the motion blue of the river. It looks like you are right down by the river's edge which works. I'm curious what a shot from a higher angle would look like in comparison. The sky is kinda funky. We (in Calgary) had similar weather this week which screwed up my thoughts of getting out of town and doing some rural stuff. (Cityscapes with the lights making the clouds glow look cool I think).

I might be tempted to show less river and more sky as the bridge visually divides the shot rather than acting as an anchor point.

I would give a try at cropping either up from the bottom or down from the top to move the bridge from dead center.

Sky's a little blah for me and there seems to be some noisy spots around the buildings but you captured the reflections of the lights in the water excellently.
