First submission with this 'new' (actually really old) lens. 3 bracketed exposures combined in Photomatix, merged with one of the original exposures in PS3, colour balance, curves, dodge and burn.

Yay, thanks for all the comments and the votes everyone! Now I really must find another subject to have a go at that coveted blue...

Oh how beautiful! I think that new lens is going to do really well for you -- but not to say that the lens would be nothing without a talented photographer using it! Congratulations on your 2nd place award for this stunning photo.
Great shot - nice to see this scene from a slightly different angle, I'll probably get myself down there now and completely rip this idea off - much like all my other stuff!!
Judging by the water you used a fast shutter speed. So it's amazing to me that you captured this in what looks like subdued lighting. I don't see much noise either. Technicals aside, I like the angle and the scene. Great tones and textures everywhere.
I'm not a big fan of HDR because so often it is overdone. This is just on the edge for me, not quite overdone. I like that you included the bridge and that you managed to bring out the nice colours in it.
Reminds me of my trip to London last September, I would love to go back.
Not a fan of HDR, but the composition and balance of this shot is nice. The afternoon sun on the bridge is a bit too harsh and draws the eyes, unbalancing the shot.
