    Hi Arash,
    I've stood there myself trying the GG bridge myself at night but never with fireworks. Not sure those fireworks work in this image......while they fill and otherwise empty space and section of the bridge......I would prefer the scene without them and just the focus on the bridge. I di just have a thought though.....did you try lightening that LH side.......maybe if some of the support cables and FG mound had a bit of light....maybe that would help balance the side of the frame a bit more. Worth looking into. I may add a bit more saturation to the bridge too.....it is quite red.....so wouldn't hurt.
    Nice job with the night exposure and using the bridge as a line.

    Hi Roman,
    Thanks for the comments, I wanted to capture the bridge and a bit of fireworks and I had to go manual because if I had exposed for the bridge the fireworks would be totally blown up! The fireworks is very small in the frame but it looks better on the larger version that I have. Here is a sole bridge but I thought the original would better suit the occasion :D

    Hey Arash,
    The bridge llos lighter in the repost......maybe just lightening the sky and water will help the fireworks balance more. Will try it if I get a chance.
