really sweet! As a denizen of marshes and other tidal areas, I've got to love it.

Pennybacker Bridge in 3-D

This is very interesting, and skilfully done.

I'm not wild about the gradient on the gray BG; I assume the idea is to present this as if it is a standalone construction, and I find myself wondering how this would have worked if you had exactly duplicated the DPC flat gray, then done something like using that gray for both BG & a border on your image, a pretty wide border, so the whole would float with the DPC-standard black hairlines loosely defining the target space. Or something like that...

I'd love to see you do a variation and see if it seems more or less 3-D. Regardless, a really crisp image and a fascinating presentation.

WONDERFUL shot Neal! Beautifully done. But in reference this part of your notes:

"I would have loved for a train to cross the trestle, but it didn't happen and this light only lasted a short while. "

Tsk tsk. This was expert editing. Leave the tripod set up and wait for a train, then bring him in on the dawn shot :-)

Fantastic capture of an often-photographed scene, such luminosity and tranquility! I lived in Carmel for 4 years, and explored the big Sur coast extensively for 15 years. It's my favorite place in the world and this makes me homesick for it :-) Congrats!

Oh, how NICE that this wholly atypical (for DPC), hilariously whimsical image took the blue! It's a wonderful shot, startling sense of almost tactile surfaces, beautifully rendered. Congrats!
