Idea:
I revisited this picture for the challenge, it was actually my alternative from BridgesII. And it's such a beautiful place, so I just had to get there again.
I hope it's "late" enough, it was 10pm when I took the shot.
Setup:
I put my tripod on the river bank, pretty close to the water (careful now...) and close to the ground, to get a low perspective. The plants on the left bothered me a little, last time I was there it was winter and there were no plants. I used more or less the same settings as the time before, 15 sec exposure at F/7,1.
Post Processing:
HSL (Saturation +45 on master and -10 on green)
Curves for a little more detail in the dark areas
Crop (15x10)
Resize to 640x427

Comments:
I was really disappointed about the behaviour of two inhabitants of that place. On my left, outside the frame, was a row of houses. After shooting for 5 minutes or so, two persons started throwing things at me from a balcony (cigarettes, wood, coles...). Seems they were drunk or something. Everytime I turned around, they had hidden again. Cowards. That's what you get when you go shooting on a weekend.

lovely tones, would be great if you could have done a little spot editing to control some of the highlights, also i'm wondering if cropping the left off a little wouldn't have helped, i do really like the reflection in the water though
the balance oflight in this shot is eautiful. i know that the highpoint is a nice feature but the crane ( i bellieve its a crane) in the back ruins the mood. otherwise beautiful
this is a great nightshot...you should score high...good light capture...a little overblown spots, but I know how tough it is when you have a lot going on like in this composition...nice sky too
Very pretty and tehnically very competent image. LHS seems a bit distracting - lights and foliage - wnder is a square crop might have worked, taking out that area of confusion.
My favourite part...the bush in the foreground...its almost as if it's expressing sadness for the urbanization taking place on this hill. The bush is truly the star.
I love the bridge in this shot! I would love to know where this shot was taken....it looks like a beautiful place. My only very minor gripe is that the plant in the lower left is a different color green that the ones farther up. I assume that's cause of lighting and I dont know enough PS yet to know if you could change that :-) Very clear image though....lovely reflections on the water.
I like it but I would have cropped out the shrubs to the left and added a bit more sky.
Too bad you couldn't clone out the crane, it's rather distracting.
