I've been pressing to go out and do a shoot for this challenge, and so I took off 2 hours before the submission deadline. After a few dissapointing shots of the Bayonne bridge because of poor vantage points I decided to head here to the Outerbridge Crossing. This bridge connects NY to NJ. Two states separated by a swamp. I always found that interesting. I took this around 10:30 at night and made the 20 minute trek home just in time to sharpen it and brighten it a bit.

Great capture of a long exposure. However, I don't think that this photo meets its potential. The lights trailing off one side but ending abruptly on the other side is distracting. The colors seem to be contrasting in an unpleasant way.
A little on the bright side. I find it takes away more from the photo the it adds. Beautiful reflection tho and great foreground silohouette. Good luck in this challenge. <5>
the colors in the water seem a little drastic and I might have selective colored the blues and pushed them up a notch. Great compostition and good colors! 7
