At this moment I have no critique. I just wish I was there! Great shot!

Reellady, this is real beautiful. Colors, reflection and foreground all well done. Very nice!

I love the photo. My preference would be to crop the top so that the bright bit of sky goes. When I was scrolling down the page and the top of the photo cropped out I suddenly saw much more detail and depth of colour.

Thanks for posting it, I'm very partial to sunsets and the beauty of it is really captured in this photo.

Nice photo. Now I had posted a photo of the Dames Point Bridge last week in the icon of your city thread stating that it was the longest cable-stayed bridge, but that one in Charleston was completed last year (if I remember right) and I bet it's just about as long if not longer.

Forgive me if I seem behind the curve, but what is exiff data?

Taken from Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EXIF

Exchangeable image file format (official abbreviation Exif, not EXIF) is a specification for the image file format used by digital cameras.

The metadata tags defined in the Exif standard cover a broad spectrum including:

* Date and time information. Digital cameras will record the current date and time and save this in the metadata.
* Camera settings. This includes static information such as the camera model and make, and information that varies with each image such as orientation, aperture, shutter speed, focal length, metering mode, and film speed information.
* A thumbnail for previewing the picture on the camera's LCD screen, in file managers or photo manipulation software.
* Location information, which could come from a GPS receiver connected to the camera. As of 2004 only a few cameras support this, though. Some people therefore use a normal receiver to track their movements, and then post-process the images by matching the timestamps in the images with the log from the receiver and can so add the missing information to images.
* Descriptions and copyright information. Again this is something which is most often done when post-processing the images, as only high-end camera models let the user choose a text for these fields. (Although this feature is becoming more and more apparent even in lower end compact digital cameras).


For example: ISO200, f5.6, 1/60s shutter, WB Auto, 28mm focal lenght

Thank you all some much for your great comments!! No Tripod and shot with a Kodak Z730. I want to get a DSLR after I learn all the features of this camera. I have only been using a digital camera for about 8 months and became more into it after joining Flickr the end of September.I will do the crop and try that!

I just love this stuff!!
