This is one of my favorite photographic subjects. I spend a lot of time in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park, for juggling club, photography or just to relax. The foot of the Strawberry Mansion bridge is one of my favorite places in the park. Editing steps: Auto levels, resize, auto levels, NeatImage, manually adjusted levels to settings of 0/1.00/150.

I've never seen a more incredible reflection of light off water before. The colors on the bridge accent the structure wonderfully as well. Great work. 10
Initial=nice image. I like the starburst effect on the bridge lights and the arching colors under the bridge. Composition=well done Clarity (focus, details)=fairly sharp. A little less into the distance... Exposure=good Interesting or Emotive=interesting lines; diagonals and archways. Nice reflections of light in the water.
I am using a this new detailed commenting method inspired by autool. (Thanks autool!). I hope you find it more helpful than my former comments. Thanks for submitting, and good luck! ;0) kpb
good work :) I think the exposure on this shot is just a little hot... maybe a 1 stop decrease would fix it up a little... Also, possibly tilting the camera just a tad to the right would level up the bridge and create a little stronger diagonal with the light reflections in the water... good shot :) - setzler
Love the reflections of the lights in the water, the "starburst" lights, and the colored lights under the bridge. Composition works for me, but would have liked the sky to be a little darker. lhall-9
The reflections, especially where they dwindle, are extraordinary. Lines of light doodled in the darkness. The neon underglo is wonderful and still there's detail in this very dark shot. Nicely done. 9 crisa58
I like the colors and the reflection tho the reflections are a bit bright and a little distracting. The angle is a bit weird, but I guess you were on the shore. Hmmm. It's better than most pics here, but you don't appear to live in a very exciting corner ;o) Why didn't you climb up there and moon the camera or something? ~indigo997
