 This is the shot of the Key Bridge that I initially took for the Rivers & Streams challenge. But after taking this composition in various exposures, I looked to my left and saw what I knew had to be my entry (which yielded my first-ever 7+ score and second ribbon). But I still love this shot, so let's see how it does here.

The starbursts are from shooting at F/16, not a star filter.

Editing wasn't too complex. Levels, hue/saturation, and sharpening to get those starbursts really pointy.

Here's the other shot that went into Rivers & Streams:


Post-challenge: This score is good, but I'm glad I entered the other one in the other challenge! :)

The title was actually the first thing to catch my eye today. We have terrible flooding going on in our area now. It is nice to see this scene with the smooth and calm waters. I love the colors of the sky and the starburst lights are a very pretty addition to the photo.

I like the shot but the blue in the water looks painted in. It is briter than the blue on the building.

Love the patterning of the bridge and lights. The reflections just add to the excellent overall composition.
