I know the composition is lacking. Wish I had used the wide angle, but I like the drama of it.
POST CHALLENGE Thanks for all the nice comments. I was concerned about the composition in cutting out the left side of the bridge, but there might have been too much negative space then. It seems like night shots are a good bet for DPC voters.

An incredible image of Rochester, NY - a complete technical and artistic success. This image has high impact and wow factor with it's rich combination of color and detail with properly controlled highlights and lighting. A terrific demonstration of how to properly capture an image for maximum impact. A very worthy entry into the challenge and one that should win a ribbon. Well done.
