Shot with Mamiya RZ67-50mm.

Bit of playing with curves, mainly to darken it up a fair bit.

I quite like the gentle s-curve of the bridge.

Looking at it again I'm not sure why it looks so blury, might try upping the jpeg quality a bit. The original at 8000px wide looks considerably sharper.

This is really a nice shot
Thanks, I'm quite happy with it. However I might revisit the original and do a better job with the contrast and such.

Yeah the reflection is so clear, must have been very still.

I've always wanted to get down there at sunset for a shot of the westgate. I have to say I think it's a nice looking piece of architecture. This is very well executed and very sexy looking with those smooth colours and shiloettes. Only thing I can see to improve is the blurriness which you seem to be already working on, so keep up the nice work :thumbsup:

Thanks, glad you like it.

As it may interest you, 6x7 is almost square so I cropped off quite a lot to get it to 1:2, however when I shot it I had this in mind. I took a while deciding if I should crop out the power station on the far left In the end I decided that it added a little extra interest to the shot and didn't detract much.

Regarding the bluryness, the thing is when its at full size, that I scanned it in at, it doesn't look blury. Gah! Yes I said I would work on it so I might do that now.
