 Taken at Central Park at night after a snow storm, SE corner of the park...

Didnt' have my tripod with me so i had to wedge my camera b/w a wire fence and a pole and hole it didn't shake

Pretty heavy PP- HDR from 5 Raw Conversions, crop, de-saturated the snow and bridge to get the orange out, pretty heave D & B to make the light more even, curves/lvls tweaking, Neat Image, crop to size, USM, border, done.

Looks like a few waterfowl were still enjoying the evening. I like the scene but would love it if you could have avoided the blur on the lights.

The umber sky adds to the impact of this apparently out-of-place old bridge: nice contrast between the rural/bucolic bridge and the sodium glow of the city.
