This is not one of my best attempts since it was foggy out that night (as you can see in the photo). I plan to go back once it gets a little warmer out to get a better shot. I think this shot would really benefit from an HDR treatment.

I don't know what you mean by not one of your best attempts. I really like this picture, the colors and composition is great.

I agree, I like this a lot. I think the fog in the city really adds to this shot

I love to see great bridges that are built to enhance their surroundings. This bridge really does that in this shot, very soothing and beautiful. Great eye and thanks for sharing!

Maybe it looks that good, as it does, because of the fog. I followed this from page one, so you have every reason to be proud.

Fantastic, the fog really adds to the shot! Great coloring, composition and content; I really like how the colors from the buildings/bridge are reflected on the ice!

The only thing I could suggest is for a bigger size (1600x1200).

Great shot, thanks so much for sharing! This ones on my desktop and in my favs!

Wonderful shot and I agree with the others that the fog worked for you in this. I Like how it pulls the blue lights up from the bridge. A really nice and very colorful capture -

I just saw this on the front page and am very glad I did. This is indeed excellent. The fog gives the distant buildings a rather mysterious look. I will be interested to see if you do post another shot although it seems it will be hard to improve on this one.

Investment in good equipment is quite gratifying after coming up with wonder shots like this - although not a guarantee. Just awesome!

Cool! Very cool! I think the fog adds a lot to the picture, rather than detracting from it. Excellent capture!
