Wow, Very Nice!

Very nice work!

Thanks. The fun part was fighting off the mosquitoes during the long exposures.

Great Pic and I hear ya on the dreaded skeeters

Man, I haven't seen that bridge in too long! Looks great!

I really like this! Wonderful shot. Care to share you exposure information?

Is there a dam along the bridge? It looks like there a line at the edge of the bridge where the water changes elevation.

Nice shot. It looks like it could use just a bit of contrast though. It seems a little flat to me.

No dam. It's how the bridge lights played on the water. In the foreground the lights give the water texture. Behind the bridge the water is featureless from skylight reflection. On the horizon is a line of trees.

Time was 4AM CDT, 7D, 28-135 @ 56mm, f/6.3, ISO 200, 11 RAW exposures converted to TIFF in DPP, Photomatix 4 using the Painterly preset, no optical filters. Shutter speeds were between 2 minutes and 1/8 second at one stop intervals.

You're right. If I print it that will be corrected.
