 Taken at Treasure Island. It was pretty busy with other photographers when I was there, I will be curious to see if any of them end up in the challenge. I definately wish I had more time with this one, it was taken about two hours before the challenge ended. I wanted to get the nice starburst effect, but next time I think I will back off a bit to somewhere around f/22 since the f/32 was definately softer than I had hoped.

Processed in RAW, rotated, cropped, dodged and burned, changed saturation, Neat Image, USM, save for web.
I realized afterward that there is a sign blocking part of the left hand side... I guess I'll just have to return for a retake!

best photo of the bridge that I've seen so far in this challenge (and there's been quite a few)

The lighting is truly spectatcular (star filter?) in this photo. I hope this makes the top 10.

Composition is really nice. I like the starlights on the bridge.
There is some discoloration from lens flare on the right side, but it doesn't distract it to much.
