Are you saying that tax is a small part or that it is a the thorn that is going to burst our bubble? If so, we are in crappy bubble, so are you suggesting taxes will save the USA? I'm guessing Rush didn't enter this shot! :) Whatever your context, thanks for the discussion!

The square crop makes it not a classic post card, to my mind, but the photo is great.

Your vertical is off just a bit. Very pretty otherwise.

Not voting, only commenting:

Very nicely exposed, although your horizon could use come straightening, and the dark area bottom left detracts a bit.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Well I agree with the voters and commenters. This is a breathtaking shot. You did a great job bringing back detail with the tone mapping. I love that the photo keeps my attention. My eyes wander across the bottom, along the bridge, and through the sky line, exploring the scene.

I agree with MemberTygerr that breaking the skyline with the hill in the background would have made it stronger. Currently, the sky almost looks like a gradient border. If you're skimming past the photo, I don't think you'd realize just how amazing that sky is. If you were to re-shoot, I wonder if you could get lower, and maybe even bring the radio tower on the right, above the sky line? It's a great scene. I'd be shooting it all the time if I were there. =)

Obviously you met the challenge well. I can't really think of anything else to improve this photo. Except perhaps taking it earlier in the evening to capture even more of the detail. But then again, the night shot really gives it a great mood. Nicely done.
