That's gorgeous David, and with a focal length of 25mm, I'm guessing that some PP'ing was done with the moon? ;)

:lol: Pleased someone is awake and reads exif data! Would I get away with saying it's a pano? :lol:

Lets call it Creative Licence which in my view is what photography is all about. The good part is: I may have sold the image to a company I work freelance for - creativity can be a nice little earner!:D

David, I view the better photographs here as being works of art - i.e. almost like artistic representations of a scene. Your photo is a brilliant example of such a work, and the PP is seamless which was why I checked to see what focal length you had used. :cool:

Congratulations on the potential sale too.

Thats a nice idea.
IMO, it needs the colours bringing out a bit to give it that extra punch, and the moon
needs to be faded a little into the background.

I have seen a very similar shot on another forum with the Same title, is that yours too.

Very cool shot! That must be a neat bridge..think there is a similarly-designed one like that down in Florida. Not sure where....

I wouldn't be allowed to repeat what I said in my email, so I'll summarise by saying that its a lovely composition and very well thought out 'panorama' :lol:

Great work David. ;)

The original inspiration was just a creative shot of the Millennium Bridge taken from a different view-point/perspective - the addition of the moon was after a conversation with a friend.

Thanks everyone else for your kind comments.
