This a photo of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in Newyork City. I took this shot ten minutes after the rain had ended after midnight and there was a thick mist. A tripod was used, and didnt really do much post processing and editing. I only Cropped it, and increased saturation a tiny bit. I added a USM, and filtered it on Neat Image.

Anton, I really like your style in photography, havine the guts to stand out of the box and not playing safe, is something yo uget credited for.
Keep up the good work, Ciao
This is perfect timing for this shot. The atmospheric conditions and the lighting work perfectly together and your composition is also very nice. I know it's probably naturally that way, but I might be tempted to rotate just a bit counter clockwise to even up that shoreline/horizon area - but that's nitpicking.
This is defanetly the most prettiest bridge at night. I love the colors and lighting. Its very dreamy like and it reminds me of the movie called What Dreams May Come.... with Robin Williams in it. Congratulations on this beautifull photo getting second place ribbon:) Its incredible awesome!
Congrats on the red! Yours was the only one of my personal top three that made it. It is a fantastic capture and a high quality image. Don't sweat the 1s business, just keep on truckin' and taking good pictures.
Congratulations on your ribbon with this amazing shot of the Verrazano! I live near there and see it almost everyday and have taken alot of shots of it but none as grand as this! Beautiful work, happy to see this do so well! Great Work!
Congrats on yor first ribbon but those 10 "one" voters make me sad!
Ruler when u were discussing in a thread the high votes that came in
on ur beautiful shot, u posted another picture wich probable revealed a bit emphatic what image u sent in for this challenge
so i think the 1-voters did this because they found this move very undone
this is the only reason i can think of regarding the one-voters
pathetic but true
soo maybe for the next time this consideration might be helpfull to u
BOL
Told you you had it in you. Stay away from entering those setup indoor shots (for now, but keep practicing) and do what it is you do best. Your bridges and cityscapes are awesome.
Ant, Congratulations on your first ribbon, may there be many many more.
I don't understand why you got so many one's isn't that kind of strange?
Good job brother lol
Congrats on your first ribbon, Tony- and a 7+ score! In case you didn't notice, this is the second-highest scoring shot ever for your camera. Ya' got a 9 from me. ;-)
10 ones is indeed bizarre - this is a fantastic shot...I wonder whether some of the trolls got through the cracks. I'm curious though -must have been a bright night to get a shot this light out of an eight second exposure at midnight ? And I can't figure out what that golden area is to one side of the bridge - I know it's not the sunbecause a) the shot was taken at midnight and b) there are lights on the bridge?! Edit - I also know becaue I read one of your comments down below :). Whatever it is, it's gorgeous and really adds to this shot.
that is very considerate of you insteps. I don't care about all of those 1's. I guess it is people who really like the photo that vote low purposely solely to boost the chances of their submission to win.
Great shot! Could have easily taken the blue. I don't understand why you received so many votes of 1. There are usually a few but you were robbed. Congratulations on your red ribbon.
Lots of commenters wanted to know If this was a sunset or a sunrise. I named the photo specifically for people who wanted to have an idea what time it was when I took this. The orange glow was definatly from the toll area on the horizon.
To all the voters and commenters. Thanks for voting for me. I appreciate the feedback. I would of never thought I would of gotten 54 ten's. I was hoping for a top 25 finish with this submission at best.
Looks great. The colours are gorgeous. The composition is well done, I like the fact that there's a major element in the foreground and the cityscape in the background. How did you achieve that orange glow? 10.
returning for comment: the beautiful green and complimentary orange sky give this image the feel of perfection. the vanishing point adds to this image also. the only thing that could have been done would be this thing on the bottom right to be cloned out, but thats not allowed, so its about as close to perfect as can be.. 9
Beautiful colours and excellent clarity. This appears to be slightly oversharpened, but it doesn't really detract from the overall effect - which is silky smooth and quite lovely overall.
In many ways this is fabulous, but the distortion of the shape on the right bothers me. I'd like to see this cropped so there's much less on the right and much more on the left, I think this owuld be stronger and more directional.
