This is a classic capture of Ponte Saint Angelo (bridge), Castle Saint Angelo with the Vatican (Saint Peter's Basilica) illuminated in the distance. Its taken from Lungotevere tor di Nona - which was quite deserted at the time. Long exposure and tripod gave a smooth effect on the water. The time was 6pm in the evening whilst the city commuters hurried home.

Colours and reflections on the water are the best part of this picture. I wish buildings could be a bit sharper, overall its a good image.

Crisp is the word for this shot. I love those nighttime tripod shots. The colors you captured are superb, and the line formed by the bridge and the river wall on the right make a fine divider separating the image into two zones - the wet and the dry. Now that tree on the left is not quite right. Including forground elements gives your image depth of field which is desirable, but I feel you should have included a bit more of the tree so it would be an element of the image instead of a distraction. Great shot, and I'm awfully glad you uploaded it.
