Hmmm. The depth of field trick is cool, as always, but to be honest... I think I prefer the original (don't hate me!). I guess you were going for a more realistic view by decreasing the contrast, but it looked really *cool* all bright, colourful and overexposed-looking. The red was so vibrant, and the brightness added to the sense of speed and motion. If you ask me. Well, just my two cents. The focus is cool though. I just think brighter was better. It was very striking.

Well now there's 2 options! One for the people who like the colourful version, and one for the people who like the darker, more brooding version :D

Oooh, lovely. I have to say though, I think you should change the undertones in the buildings, they're a bit greeny-yellow, I think they would look better red-ish. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the purple undertones in the lights though. You changed the focus on the shot? The focus is reminiscent of your micro series.

Yeah I figured I could use my cheap dof trick to reduce the amount of glare from the spotlights in the original on the top and bottom :blush:

i've been planning to take a similar shot for ages now. There's no excuse really, considering I walk across the bridge every day!

Well done!
