Great shot, love the brightness of the image from the bridge lights and the clouds through the sunset. Great sharpness as well.

Excellent shot - Nice to vibrant colours in the sky balanced witht the organe glow and car lights on the bridge. Very striking.

Cool shot;

The composition and subject is great and complimented by great colors.
The long exposure did seem to introduce some noise, but it's not overly noticeable...

Nice work!

Hi KLYee, another stunning shot with a different view point. You must be taking quite a walk to capture from this angle.

First of all its a surprise to me that the sun sets at 7.50 pm, and for the picture its a wonderful composition , the lights, the spesring su[pports, its a marvellous view of a city during sunset

Gorgeous! The variety in colors, symmetry, lines, and lighting are really great. Nice work!

Hi Yee...photography is a lot like hunting. Waiting for the right moment. The difference is, you never know exactly when your "game" comes into view. You just have to trust yourself that the scene you are looking at, is the best there is before darkness sets in.Which you did.

keanfan (696) 2006-02-15 20:40

Yes, it was certainly worth the wait! The colors are really rich and superb, very good contrast and the edges are so sleek and sharp. Well done Kok Leong. :)

hello klyee
this is beautiful photo!
The sunset is fantastic, but when it comes with the nice bridge setting, as well as the very tasteful street lamp on the bridge and the very nice cloud settings, it is just great!

p.s. I don't know if it is just me, but I don't really like the strong headlight beams that is on the middle of the photo, I think the photo would looks better without that.

thanks

This is huge.. The span of the bridge agains such a dramatic sky is wonderful and the slow shutter speed really brings out the bright lights and speeding traffic.

Great perspective! I like the way you used the lines of the cables to create a very dynamic shot, with the lines drawing the viewer's eye upward. Great colour too, with the pinks and blues in the sky. Excellent!

Great shot..!! Vivid colors. You have done a impressive PP. The long exposure has paid of well. TFS

Wow, very well executed and post-processed. The colours are really outstanding and the light is amazing. This is a beautiful of the natural colours of the sky and the artificial headlights of the cars that are passing by. The bridge itself is also very well exposed.

Yo friend
You keep hitting me with your Putrajaya shot, man. Just can't wait to KL and meet up with your for the session.

Very good - great sunset colours, the POV is good & the cables make a good pattern as they converge at the top of the brdige structure. The long exposure used has given a good light effect as the vehicles move across the road deck.

donluicu (24692) 2006-07-22 3:52

HI Kok

Just the right timing to capture these rich colours, Kok Leong, and very good DOF and sharpness. Your low POV works very well for this composition. Cheers . . . David

This is really a wonderful composition from both technical and compositional sides.
A futuristic location also. Ideal for perspective work.
Congratulations. Well done!
