Great angle, raely draws me into the shot... Nice smooth water gave good reflections...

Was that taken from the footpath on the bridge?

Great shot Leigh. You have lovely colours and great reflection of lights in the river. I also like the dynamics of the picture and particularly how the two lines of the riverbanks guide the eyes to the centre of the image.

great image for a first post.

well done.

Wow! Great reflections! Really nice shot there.

great pic, of the WORLD'S BEST CITY!!!

I really like the color in the sky, as its just after sunset, 635pm! Nice way to capture sunset, and colors in the sky from the Princess Bridge, looking West as per your capture.

Love it!

Excellent shot Leigh. Nicely framed and exposed. With this as your first image post you've set the bar pretty high for your future posts :wink:

Hi Leigh,

I like this shot a lot.
Nice capture, nice colours, great contrast.
If ou are using PS CS2 have a look at:
Filter, Distort, Lens Correction, Transform and perhaps
you may be able to straighten the verticals.

Regards,
CD

Thanks guys

You all seem like a very nice bunch of people which is great!

Thanks for the advice christiand i really got to sharpen up my photoshop skills. I think my main aim is to try get it as perfect as possible first time to save work later, when this is possible that is
