 This is my second time photographing Ben Franklin Bridge, located on the Delaware River. The first time tho was from the Piladelphia side. i would have to say i like this shot a little bit better then my other one. On the Camden side you have so much more room to shoot as you feel and see the image. i would deff. have to say if your ever in Philadelphia or Camden you should stop bye and check it out. i recently heard that philly plans to build a beautiful public park on the docks of the philadelphia side free for everyone to enjoy! anyway
i didnt tdo to much pp on this photo the sky is that color due to a very cloudy/ smoggy night, i was playing aroud with the wb a bit and love the colors i was seeing,
i had to desat the image a bit to get it just rihgt then curves, contrast, brightness and so on, thanx ahead of time.

Just wanted to add, I think the Red lights of the bridge blend in too much with the redness of the sky, taking away from some of the potential contrast. If the sky or lights were blue (as they sometimes are) I think it would stand out more

Great work, I particularly like the reflection of the city in the night sky contrasted by the stark grey of the bridge stantion.
