Yourself sounds like he knows what he's talking about. :) Color is way off, unless it's a bridge on Mars :lol:

how long was your exposure? when im not sure i use auto white balance then fix it later in photoshop.

im into bridge photography a lot, so this was really nice to see. just too red. but i like everything else.

thanks:D yeah I have to recalibrate my screen then. But other than that I think my exposure is way off also when I choose Cloudy it exagerated the colors of lights at the port below. Thanks once again :)

It's a bit red; but it does contrast nicely with the blue bridge lights. Actually I like it as is as far as color goes. Might crop off that large pole on the left; but really it's a very artsy picture just the way it is.

The red doesn't bother me. Adds an "art" flair too it. I would clone out some of the light poles like the one on the left, the right and the "industral" stuff in the far right distance.

The blue light on the red look cool. Nice angle

That's a great image! Very red on my monitor, but that looks fine to me. I wouldn't change that, but it depends on what effect you are looking for.
