I know someone is going to comment about it being oversharpened due to the red light along the top edge of the bridge. It is actually a purple-neon light line that runs the length of the bridge.

The bridge is the Acosta, crossing the St. Johns river in downtown Jacksonville

Sailor take warning: looks very unnatural to me. Cool but unnatural.

The processing on this strikes me as being kinda odd initially, but also very cool. The clouds really like as though they are on fire. This makes me think of the cover of a movie or maybe a comic book or something.

Whoa, that's a really neat effect. The sky looks amazing, I love the red outlines. The bridge is cool too, I'd like to see a version with the bridge lower in the frame and more of that sky.

your clouds look like they are painted...a little busy with all the bridges/buildings in the middle...but I know you got the moment in the clouds and it was were you were...

Good shot but does the horizon slope slightly?
