Red River Bridge C+C

[Mike S.]

I'm looking for ways to improving this shot, I would like to try a bit earlier with some remaining natural light and a lower perspective. I have tried this shot a few time and can't seem to find a shot I really like. Getting the colors to come out with out overexposing is proving to be a challenge.

OK, we have a nightshot here; my observations.

1)The entire bridge isn't included in the shot, back up or zoom out.
2)You've included lots of empty black sky. Place the bridge in the top 1/3 of the frame and include that lovely reflecting water instead.
3)The color all looks too orange. Play with the WB and see what you get!

Thanks for the feedback.

Where I took this I couldn't get the entire bridge without some unwanted background so the crop was necessary. I found another location I think will work better for next time. I might have to go out tomorrow night and try this again and use your input.
