 A team of rowers about to pass under Prebends bridge on the Wear. I managed to take advantage of the beautiful misty morning before all the fog cleared. A fair bit of editing - very subtle use of a second exposure, levels, curves, USM, dodge and burn - the usual suspects.

The glare proved too difficult to eliminate so I've just left it in. I wholly expect to lose marks as a result, but I honestly don't feel it detracts from the image too much.

Gorgeous capture. Love the streams of light. Also love the the reflection of the middle arc completes a circular or oval shape.

Beautiful shot, but next time you may want to shoot (or crop) the bridge to be level with the horizon. A great shot nonetheless.
