A few years ago I was really lucky to get a fantastic shot of a barge at sunset with its bright light showing the way. This one doesn't compare, but I still thought it turned out well. I would love to know others' thoughts.

Critique and advice are always appreciated, even when it's brutally honest.

It's nice but I wish I could see more of the barge.

I could do without all the water at the bottom.

I think the water on the bottom is to capture the reflections from the bridge lights...for that reason, it's OK by me.

If the barge was closer, the negative space between the barge and bridge would be filled.
If we could see the barge better as QBX suggests, the barge's headlight would be a obvious connection between the barge and bridge.

70-200L, 28-70L, 24-105L, 300L, 50, 10-17 fish, 2.0x TC
Image editing OK, encouraged, and expected. Thank you for helping me learn!
