I used a polarizing filter to keep the details in the sky.

A 7.

I used a 10-22 f/3.5-4.5 The lens itself is not so bad. But at 10mm, the details tend to become very small. I agree that I could have done a USM. I took the same using the 24-70L, the pic is different and yes, sharper..

Nice scene. Perhaps the rule of thirds would have improved this shot.

A great night shot. Love the reflections. I would suggest, however, a little extra sharpening.

Not bad, try either:
1. apply the rule of thirds so more attention is on the bridge or
2. crop to a panoramic composition of the bridge and part of the shoreline.
Good effort.

Very nice picture but this time city and river are more impressive then bridge itself.

the bridge is hard to find and not the primary focus of the image, rocks on the bottom right are also a bit distracting. nice lights & reflection.

hey cruz is my mothers maiden last name.. pretty cool. those lights' reflection create a very wierd but interesting element in the photo. it seems there is an edge there where the water is dropping off. good job.

Nice picture, but it took me a second to find the bridge.

I love everything about this ... apart from that hideous jetty on the right. Go back and stand on the jetty!

Overall nice, the horizon is a tad centered for my fancy though.
