Sunkissed Bridge

I woke up early this morning so I decided to head out to see if I could grab some sunrise shots. The sunrise was real ordinary so I decided to go for a walk with my 16-36mm. This is my latest creation... I am in love with this lens!

I like it, unusual composition and good light. Looks like HDR but I don't mind it.

I agree with Phillip. The composition is spot on and a different take on the same old same old. I'd like to a little less saturated though, but that's just me ;-)

I definitely agree with that said above. I would also be tempted to play with variants with less saturation and maybe even monochrome conversion

I don't mind it, the saturation level looks good and matches the overall concept of the image, the horizon needs work, however there are straight lines going everywhere so it could be mission impossible.

What is a 'Sunkiss' ? and what does it look like? seems to be a few of those around lately :D

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

I played with the horizon for ages and couldn't work out which way to go... in the end I just rotated the image until my wife said... "yep that looks good!"

As for a Sunkiss... i have no idea... I thought it was where you capture the sun in between two people kissing??? So I thought the Sun was Kissing the Bridge... just my whacky mind at work :shock:
