Back to comment: Man, I think you would have had a killer shot here if the clown hadn't raised his/her arms. The out of focus elbow in front of the face is killing this image.

Excellent use of the full frame. Nice colors. I think seeing a little more the face would help. Still highly rated photo.

Originally posted by dleach: I was vacationing in Boston during the 2-second challenge and wanted to find a location to shoot this bridge but I couldn't find a good one. Admittedly, it was very, very cold so I didn't explore too much (ended up with a shot of the Back Bay area from MIT). Where were you standing when you took this shot?

Yeah, it was a freezing night, but we're used to it up here. For this shot, we went down memorial drive almost all the way to the big dig area. Along the river, they are currently constructing a new park on the Cambridge side. We ended up hopping a few fences and walked around through the unopened park until we found the perfect spot. The same night, were also took a lot of shots at the waterfront, some of which were amazing, but I liked the sky in this one more.

My 3rd challenge! I'm VERY happy with a top 10. I biked around Boston with my buddy for 2 nights trying to get the best night shots. These were the storm clouds that eventually brought 10 days of rain to Boston.

Thanks a lot to everyone who commented. I have learned so much over the last 2 months, and I especially appreciate the comments from the amazing photographers to whom I look up to. I hope to get to know some of the great people here, and look forward to learning much more!
