    Nice vantage point. I downloaded the file to check the EXIF. f/11, 6 sec, ISO 800. How did the original exposure look? Did you have to push it very hard in post to lighten thing up?

    Thanks! I shot in raw. There was not a lot of stretching involved. I did minimize highlights and accentuate shadows. The bridge lights were actually quite bright. The chain and sidewalk were lit by my car lights which I left on at low intensity with the original intention to capture a big wave.

    As you can see, the image was attached but not embedded. Try this:

    After clicking on the ‘upload file’ icon (an upward pointing icon on the extreme right of the reply box) a grey area will appear on the bottom left of your post. Initially it shows the progress of the upload and then a small black box and a black cross. Click on the small black box and some fairly incomprehensible code will appear in the body of your post. When you then post the reply, it magically displays as an image - which can be clicked to see the large version.
