Nice shot--too small.

Nice sky and even better reflections. Composition with leading line from bottom using the canal is perfect. Very well done - it should score high.

Seems a little blured, but nice idea.

it's a bit on the small side, which unfortunately detracts a little from what is a really attractive shot. however, by moving my head closer to the screen, it looks bigger and one can appreciate it more. really, small sizing does detract from the image, and getting close to you 640 pixels max is important. however, the sky, the lights and the reflections are all beautiful and well captured. it might be my head (i'm a bit hungover) but it looks a smidgeon on the wonky side to me. overall, gorgeous colours, fits the challenge, a bit out of focus (slightly hampered by the size) but very nice. 5.

This could be a very good pic, but it's too small to tell! Please use the maxium size you can when entering next time!

Interesting shot. I like the light reflections. The shot is a bit on the small side- I can't make out as much detail in the picture as I would like. The focus also looks a little soft on the bridge, or maybe there was some slight camera movement during the exposure.

Is this the canal in Indy? It seems a little soft in focus, but it's a good idea. How about getting a little human interest with a silhouette of a couple people walking into the frame on the top right. With a tripod and a slower exposure time you could have really saturated the colors more.

kinda blurry and not level(the horizon) Use a tripod and try composing these with the rule of 3rds.

good mix of artifical and natural light

I think this photo could be helped by cropping to follow the rule of thirds. Although the clouds offer some interest, the main draw in this photo (IMHO) is the light and the play of it on the river. Try cropping so that the bridge is 1/3 of the way down from the top. You have nice reflections and a great line made by the river.

Why so many small photos this week? maybe it's just a freak of the order I'm seeing them in. If it should be a software problem - there are many free editors, many programs put out on the coverdiscs of computer and photography magazines ... you don't have to spend $600 on photoshop. If someone were to enter a 4x6 print into a print photography competition, would you expect it to get marked down?

This doesn't seem particularly sharp, even at this resolution. Compositionally, you've placed the bridge right across the centre of frame, at the expense of some of those reflections, and at the expense of a comfortable shape for the eye to follow through the frame: placed a little higher, it would, in conjunction with the river, create a curving sweep up and round to the right that would give a strong central graphic element to the image, and improve it for the viewer no end. 3
