Glowing in the Night

Ok, so this is a similar angle. Shot from the vantage point I assume. And this reveals the archway lighting now. Although, the last shot was truely dramatic in that regard.

Any thoughts or comments are greatly appreciated! I would especially

welcome any comparisons to the similar compositions in the same

folder that differ primarily in the ratio of natural:artificial

light. Thanks for viewing my work!

Great image, I am sure you used a tripod but it still looks a little bit blurry. I have found that the lense that came with my camera is junk and I only use the 50mm that I bought now. I also found that my night shots are blurry with a tripod. My next step is to get a cable release. This picture is very well done but would be a 7/7 if it was sharper. Darren

The lights are spectacular and the reflection in the water is nice as well.

Thanks for the comments! I appreciate each and every one of them! About the "blurriness" of this image...that has been a topic of much debate when I've posted the other night shots of this bridge from the same vantage point. I've gone back each time and looked at the original file and the problem is in my resizing/lack of sharpening and not the original focus. I know little to nothing about post-processing and know absolutely nothing about sharpening...all I do is convert the RAW file as it was shot (original settings) and then save it as a smaller size. Apparently this makes the image look blurry, especially the ones of this bridge (not sure why, but the difference is far more pronounced on the bridge shots). There could possibly be a little bit of softness from the 35-80mm lens, which I've been told is not the best lens in the world. But, I usually stop it down to f/8 to try to use the "sweet spot" and since the original files look better, I'm assuming my post processing is 99% of the problem. Thanks again for all the help and input!
