This shot was taken a few minutes earlier than the one I posted yesterday.

Please don't tell me about the rule of thirds and the horizon etc.
This is the full uncropped version. I think I like it better and even though hand held its probably a bit steadier than the other one and probably good enough to print on closer inspection.

Looks terrific. I do like the abundance of colour.

Agreed Bob,
I like this perspective of the bridge,
and the richness of the colour in the sky really makes this shot stand out.

i reckon it looks great

Rules? What rules!

Seriously though... that pic is great!

and I soooo am going to go to that park and have a go myself now!

No horizon problems here, Bob.

The Story Bridge is higher on the Fortitude Valley side than on the Kangaroo Point side. As proof, the buildings are perfectly vertical, as are the uprights on the bridge. I have taken many photos from this spot with the same result.

Oops, I just told you about the horizon.

Sorry!

I posted this pic on another forum and one comment was about symmetry and bulbs blown on the bridge along road level.

What do you think? - Should I clone in some fresh bulbs?

I vote No.
It is what it is, and it is great as it is IMHO

The reflection is spectacular, as is the whole photo.

Outstanding, Bob! Perhaps a slight tweaking of the curves to bring some detail out of the shadow areas in the lower half of the shot?

I wouldn't worry about the comments elsewhere - it's a winner.
