Looks nice, can we see a bigger one (can you link to it?)

I don't get it. Why put a crap piece of glass over your nice lens? In these digital days, vignetting and gradient ND are easy to reproduce in Photoshop or Lightroom. With more control, and an un-damaged original to keep playing with.

If he didnt use the ND grad, he may have blown the skys so that they were un-recoverable in pp. When there is no detail to recover, photoshop doesnt do you any good.

Stationary landscape is good for HDR, but what about movement?
I bought a grad - no good pics yet, but I have goes at it - one day I expect I'll want to take something more active than be coped with by 3 exposures - e.g. waves, moving people, whatever! It might be more spontaneous?

I do not posted very often photos, so I do not know how to do it bigger, If you want I can send you the photo, or please tell me how to upload it. Thanks for your comments, it is a panoramic with four photos. I will try to improve, I'm very amateur in the photography, I just do it for jobbie.

Best way, or the way I post to the forum is to use www.imageshack.us. Give that a shot. Fantastic photo, though! :)

Great shot. I do not agree that a graduated filter can be replaced by photoshop. They are different tools. And not all filters are a "piece of crap"... just look around and you will find excellent quality filters (and be prepared to pay for them).
Is the bridge a tad soft? If you like to post-process, what about adding a little bit of a reflection on the water? I would also brighten up the buildings on the far left.
I like it!!
