Many thanks for the comments on my sunset HDR pic.

@Bobby1970: maybe an extreme panorama crop could also help your Humber Brdige photo a little. The sky and water areas could be cropped to a large extend maybe? I could also imagine to convert it to black and white (as it already shows almost no colours) and to increase the contrast or clarity quite a lot.
always on the need for improvement

Weekdays it takes me about 2 hrs to drive 20 miles home :-(.

I do have more Getty shots but they are in my flickr account labeled as dyxum meet :-). Posted them a while back

A great addition to your previous photo's of this bridge. With an UWA or fisheye it could fit complete within the frame maybe - but this looks ok. Thanks for these Bobby.

Michel, thanks for your kind comments. I have taken pics of the bridge previously with a P&S Panasonic TZ7 and even at its widest it is difficult to fit it in from the vantage point of these pics without getting a load of unwanted stuff in the frame (IMHO). I was using my recently acquired 28-80 sigma lens for these and i think its better than the kit lens for IQ. Even if it doesn't go as wide.

Thanks again
