    John, thanks ...I was driving to take shots that night. I did stop, get out, set up a tripod a take a series of pics off the bridge in about a 15 minute period ...thanks for the comments, though.

    Very well done

    I just wish there were a bit more ambient light, the far away buildings are hardly distinguishable vs the light in the floor and the arch

    nice blacks. the composition is a bit tight though for me. i wish is was wider to grab more of the bridge and the great nightscape in the BG. having said that, it's still a very good photograph.

    I would love it if the buildings had more lights in them, but I like the picture regardless. It has a very elegant touch to it.

    I think there is plenty more of the light for the back in the RAW file ...I will just try to process it a little differently ...thanks for the feedback.

    I don't see any issues at all. I think the conversion is really very good as with the composition and subject. I don't even see a nit pik. Nice job.
