Demonstrates the technique of bokah more than the beauty of an image that could be created with bokah in my opinion.

This is cool, especially knowing that the black was made using a t-shirt. Good stuff.

Great image. It is no surprise there were two of basically the same idea in this challenge... an old and well known lanmark combined with a new one from the 21st century. It is perfect for this challenge.

Congratulations Manic. You almost had you a ribbon with this one. It was one of my favorites in this challenge.

Thanks for all the great comments folks, can't believe that this shot did so well! I'm totally in love with this 20D - it's an amazing camera, and does well even with just the kit lens...

To be honest, this shot was a bit hurried, and I didn't really stop to think about framing properly (it was cold & windy up there on the bridge), otherwise I might have switched to a longer lens and got a cleaner original. Not to mention the amazing shot that Imagineer took of the same place (thanks for the comment BTW ;o), which kinda stole my thunder, but I'm definitely satisfied with the result. I'll have to remember to go back and reshoot there another time, see if I can't improve some more.

It's not every day that you get a personal best score, so thanks again!

Amazing to get a 6.9 and no ribbon. Congrats on your great finish though! I like the way you captured this with the people, even at night.
