I had to look twice to make it out but did find it 
Nice bridge lighting BTW.

I've seen many pictures where people used composites and made the comet to big for the landscape. Neowise was pretty small unless, of course, just photographing it zoomed in.I had to look twice to make it out but did find it
I think for Christmas I am getting Alan a new pair of glasses Yervant!
Very nice work here with this. I like it with the bridge here, it sure sets it off differently.
And you are right, it was pretty small in terms of size. I ended up shooting it quite a few times and I would typically have 3 cameras going, all at different focal lengths so that I could capture it wide like this, but also get tighter images where the comet is larger. But when wanting to include landmarks like this cool bridge you got it's going to result in shooting wider and the comet will be pretty small.
You could increase the contrast a bit in the sky and maybe brighten the comet and stars just a hair. But I do like the more subtle approach here as you have it. It's kind of nice not having the comet jump out at you, but as just being part of the landscape that the eye discovers.

LOL on the glasses. I tried to keep it on the realistic side here. Hopefully we'll have another comet coming through so I can put my tracker on it and then stack the heck out of it. I'll be zooming in next time too. lol It's all good fun.I think for Christmas I am getting Alan a new pair of glasses Yervant!

I think Alan has a point, it is really small, and on some screens it is so dark, its barely noticeable.
It is totally your decision to keep it documentary and explaining the image, or take some creative approach to it, nevertheless it would benefit from some brightness tweak.
Cheers.
