This is the famous bridge in Big Sur near Monterey Bay, California.

Not too much in the post processing department.

Hue/sat, bright/contrast, USM, crop, NI.

The cow was a great model. She gave me trouble with the model release form though :)

I LOVED this shot!! The bridge and where it takes you is so magical. This should have been top 10.

I really do believe you were seriously underated in this competition. I won't tell you it was my favorite, but I did nonetheless like it enough to give it an 8. Good luck to you in your future endeavours.

Though the landscape is very nice and the photo is very sharp, but the point of interest is too small in the background. It doesn't match with the challenge theme: the bridge. You may want to consider to change your angle.

Beautiful image. Very creative intrepretation of the challenge. Refreshingly original. One of my favorites of the field.

I like the colour of the sea and the landscape around the bridge, but I think that the grass in the foreground is oversaturated in comparison and spoils the overall effect. Also, the person (?) in red is too bright IMO.

This is a gorgeous picture that's composed well. Green looks a little unnaturally oversaturated to me.

this is a nice shot, but I have a few critiques. its hard to tell what that is on the grass, and the grass is really really green, maybe it could be a little less saturated. this is a very nice image though.

I really like this shot. It is georgeous. I love the colors in this photo. It is very bright and vibrant. I like how you not only captured your subject but you also captured the natural surroundings of your subject. Very nice work.

WOW great shot

This is very good. The bridge looks ethereal, & for that reason I wonder if you tried with the cow and all the grass cropped out? I feel the foreground diminishes the delicate character of the image. 6.

Brilliant, good composition, good exposure and tonal range.

Awesome vista, but can't tell what the red thing is.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Fabulous composition, clarity, colouring and sharpness! the cow adds a nice touch ;) I see no other score for this pic but a 9.

I would like to see a wide angle shot, taking out the lawn and just showing the seascape with the bridge on the left...

I really like the natural "bridges" formed in the rocks. Not sure if that's what you were specifically adding to the picture though. The bridge in the background is a little far away. Otherwise a really nice picture.

My top photograph with color for the challenge...lots of black & white in this go-round. Congratulations on the shot - lots of bridges to see. The color is lush and deep, and the metal bridge in the background stands out well despite being lightened by mist because it's the only unnatural thing here. The nice stone bridges only add to the shot. Good work.

Nice color combo. Great rugged lines. All this and, good heavens, a holy cow!

That's a classic, alright. Used tolive a few miles upcoast from there. I wish you hadn't gone so far with the gren, I'd have loved this in more muted spectrum. Still a decent score from me.
