The Verrazano Narrows Bridge.
It connects two boroughs in New York City, Brooklyn, and Staten Island.
It's 2 1/2 miles of beauty.
I took this shot off the Belt Parkway on a nice sunny day. I sharpened the image a bit and ran it through Neat Image.

I love how you got the entire bridge in the shot and the water looks so blue - something you don't see in New York very often.

including the road on the right adds a lot to the image - well done

nice curving on the bridge and the cement wall.

I think that the bank in the foreground intrudes a little too much.

This is certainly a bridge, and this shot has a lot of potential. For some reason, though, it just feels too blue - the bridg blends into the sky despite the clarity of its lines. Also, the eye is drawn almost exclusively to the right side because of the strong lines and shadows there. I would like to see this in a high contrast b&w - I think that would really pull the bridge into the foreground rather than allowing it to blend into the background (because the road seems to be the main subject here, as it is isolated by both distance and colour).

Nice

Good Color. Sharp. And the horizon is level. Only thing I would have done differently is either get more of the right side into the shot, or walk down to the bridge closer.

Crossed this one myself a couple of times. Looks great at night as well.

Good composition, good lighting. A closer shot and tighter angle that would have accentuated the size might have been more interesting

a very impressive structure

Compression artifacts around bridge towers? Cement curb seems more in focus than the bridge.
