Interesting shot... The reflection really adds to an otherwise boring scene.

This is one of my favorites for this challenge. Great use of reflection, and a clever way to work it into the challenge.

Comment by e301:
Thanks for that comment, David. The darkness? Well, firstly it was a dark day, and secondly a near-nightmare to get the shot, especially with the lack of control settings on the 2800Z. I like the way the dark surroundings emphasise the patch of brightness on the horizon, the way the darkness conceals some of the messiness of the nearby buildings (mostly still under construction), and along with the reflections in the water serve to isolate the bridge: I could almost ahve titled the shot loneliness, but thought that it needed the help of a little information. I also hoped the highlights on the handrails of the bridge (had to sharpen to get them out that way) would give enough of a clue as to the subject - evidently not a successful strategy for most viewers.

Thanks to all who commented, and of course especially to the five of you responsible for those 10's!
