I do like the first one with the trails, but here the bridge colour being so similar to the sky loses some of the impact of the shot.

I also took a shot at night but I don't think I got the timing or composition quite right.

The lighting on the bridge is awesome. You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.
