If it wasn't for the lens flare in this shot, I'd love it. As it is, I like it, but I'll be going back here to try again!
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Beautiful! The flare actually gives the photo a neat effect. I really like your choice of foreground.

Totally agree with you. A very nice capture indeed. Did you try to clone out the flare? My first impression was that it shouldn´t be impossible, although maybe not that easy on the other hand... Anyway, this one pops! /Peter

@Peter Mannfolk: I tried using the patch tool on it, but it came out wonky! Thanks for the feedback peter

I like the flare too, it gives it a rather ethreal feel to it. Almost like you've captured the ghost of a worker who lost his life whilst the bridge was under construction.

I'm with you on the lens flare but otherwise it is a cracker shot!! You must go back and try this again. Love how the foreground came out, too.

That long exposure has made the Forth look very placid. Good result.

@Observing: Thanks Observing, it was a calm night anyway!

I love this shot, lens flare and all. Great fan off long exposures (because I can never get them right). Great shot, well done.
