What's not to like about these?

Nothing at all. It's all good from my perspecitve.

Nice clarity, contrast and saturation. Plenty of detail and the composition works in both images as far as I'm concerned.

Congrats on a couple of images good enough to hang.

Regards,

Peter

Both of these work well, but the first is my favorite.

WOW!! Now that is a stand out of the buch awesome photo #1 getas my vote and I nominate it for POW. Really nice work job and the ND gave it that extra touch you don't normal see.

#2 is also great, but I would preffer the symetry of just the 2 tunnels myself. Still and excellent comp though, don't get me wrong

Best,
Jay

I think I prefer the first image as well, Ken. Very nice.
I would agree with Jay's comment about just the two tunnels in the second, but I find as well, that although the bridge is lovely, I prefer the way you have used it more as a frame in the first.
The subtle effect of the longer exposure is wonderful.

Super fantastic!! I like both of them but also go with 1 for the overall effect. I like the sense of time in the color of the bridge and building in the photo.

I agree with what has been said.. I like the fact that I can see more of the building in the reflection than through the arch..Makes me want to go on through.

Yeah! Super pictures...love the framing, the color and the reflection on the water. I might have tried for a faster shutter speed to freeze any water movement and try to get it more mirror like...but, hey, there are probably dozens of creative adjustments one could make. What you have here are beautiful...

Lots of possibilities there and two captures to be proud of. I guess you bumped the saturation up a fair bit? yes?

Thanks Jay, re the 2nd pic I actually shot half of another arch on the LOF but after posting on another forum it was sugested to crop it out and just leave the 2 1/2 arches .
Thanks again for all your comments, much appreciated.
