Challenge: Bridges (Classic Editing)
Camera: Sony DSC-F717
Location: Road up to Mt. Rainier
Date: Mar 9, 2003
ISO: 100
Galleries: Landscape, Nature
Date Uploaded: Mar 9, 2003

This bridge is about half way up to Mt. Rainier. The road is still snowed over and we would have had to turn back in another 1/2 mile, but luckily we were able to reach the bridge before chains would be required (which we didn't have).

Maybe I should have titled this "Waldo's Bridge" or "Bridge In Harmony With Nature"......

A less compressed, nicer version of this photo is located at:

But honestly, it's not all that different.

Hi swash. I read the comments and must say that I agree with most of them that although the subjects are lovely ,colors don't vary enough to have the bridge stand out.
No sense of depth..different time of day would have helped.ngis.ca/~camelotnorth/

I like the idea of this image with the waterfall unde the bridge. The tones of the photo, however are either similar or contrasting, so it is difficult to see what's going on. This shot may look better at sunset or sunrise, when the light is less harsh.

Great shot ! , yet out of focus or blured with compression

This is a beautiful bridge shot! The colors and shapes work well together. The waterfall is a perfect complement to offset the bridge, and the exposure is well done on that. Composition is good. It seems to be a bit over processed or out of focus a tad. This shot is a trophy for your efforts to get up there and get it. Congratulations and good luck! ... Just curious... Is this the bridge to Comet Falls?

I can't seem to make any sense out of this at all. I can't distinguish the bridge from the rest of the scenery/rock formations. Came back to this 4 times and I finally see the bridge and the falls, it just seems to come all together as one piece of picture, hard to distinguish as parts of a scenery, almost as if you were hiding "waldo" on me. I've change you from a 3 to a six. Nice job,

Fantastic bridge and snow. How did you get in position to get the shot? Everything is so flat, it is hard to appreciate the potential. I am struggling for concrete suggestions to help the image. Maybe add to the flatness - go to black and white, crop out some of the top and right, pump up brightness for a white-on-white image.

I've just come back to this as I voted before it registered.....just where were you standing to get this shot...or can you fly ...I mean hover?

Nice setting, like the bridge of choice and the waterfall in the background. Seems a little complicated and distracting with so many points of interest, it takes a brief second to locate the bridge itself. Under the circumstances (snow etc) you have done well. I like the splashes of green to break up the snow a bit. Image may have lost some impact through compression.

The bridge blends in to the photo way too much. The colors here are overwhelming.

Very nice! The bridge and surroundings are so perfect it almost doesn't look real.

Nice framing of the waterfall, and its not too distracting from the bridge.

I love the concept and the composition here, just wish I could see the details a little better.

Very nice subject and composition but the photo appears to have been over sharpened IMO. Good luck with the challenge!
