 Margit Hid (Margaret Bridge) in Budapest, on an early Sunday morning, just before I left the city on a 7 hour drive back home.

This image just stuck throughout the month and stood out from the lot, with its simplicity and the mood that you don't see very often. The quiet before sunrise, river mist and the cotton lights made this a moment to remember.

This is almost exactly what I have seen that morning. It's barely cropped and there is only some denoising and sharpening applied (Luko's sharpening added a little black and structure to the bridge). Composition wise, it would have been easy to follow the rule of thirds and break the bottom part, but I like it much better this way. To my eye, this disbalance creates a challenge... moving up and down between the strong structure and the painterly reflections, I find myself looking further, to the beach under the bridge.

The reflections in the water work for me, but was wondering if you could have gotten a landscape orientation on it?

It's nice that you can get a capture and it remains exactly how you saw it. I like the reflections too.

Nice reflection of the bridge lights in the water; not sure the vertical crop is the best choice here.
