Bridge in Hyde Park

I had taken this shot before casually and decided to return when the light was right. It took two weeks to find a day with the proper sunset. I like the perspective and the light.

Love the lighting you got on this. Great job with a long exposure. It would be nice if the leading lines were pointing toward something interesting, but sometimes that's just not an option. If it were me, I would clone out the sign and the people that are on the river bank. The green is distracting on the sign and the people are just bright enough to make you wonder what they are without adding anything to the shot. It also looks like you have some ghosting in the large tree in the background, probably something to do with 2 exposures where the tree moved slightly between them. Not so noticeable at web sizes, but if you ever want to print this large you would need to clean that up. I would just use the darker exposure and leave that tree as a silhouette. You don't gain much by using a lighter exposure and you would be using the faster shutter speed so there should be less motion in the tree so it's sharper.

Nice dynamic range without over processing.

did you happen to take a still shot as well it could help you sharpen up the things that are out of focus...birds, wind blown trees. the bridge is nicely lit and the pylons leading line is nice
