I got up at 500AM to drive downto the bridge, as I was leaving I said self, don't forget the tripod, which I promptly did, but I forged forward. I waited and tried different compositions for about an hour. this is the one I liked best.
boosted saturation
unsharp mask
crop
unsharp again
I hope it is not too dark, did not preview on the CRT.

Wow this is nice, nice contrasting colors, reflections, angle, and sihoulette.

nicely composition and capture

Ah, the most photographed bridge in town. I've seen (and taken) a lot of photos of this one but hadn't thought of this angle before. It feels like it's leaning to the right a bit, but I like the deep blue sky against the gold reflection on the water. The one bright spot in the trees is distracting. Bridges tend to lead to a horizontal orientation, but the vertical orientation with lots of sky works well here.

great colors and reflection
02/21/2005 08:37:39 PM
The colors are nice, but the siloutted reflection is a treat.
02/21/2005 01:22:26 PM
I hate to be one of many here - but why didn't you straighten this??! It'll really lose you points unfortunately, because this is a good photo otherwise. Nice colour and a good time of day - sky is pretty too.
02/20/2005 01:00:11 PM
gorgeous!!
02/19/2005 09:10:35 PM
Wow!!! Gorgeous shot!
02/19/2005 04:58:41 PM
Great shot.
02/19/2005 03:52:15 PM
Nice photo, though it could a slight counter-clockwise rotation.
02/18/2005 03:07:34 PM
I feel that this should be rotated anti-clockwise, so that the bridge is level. That aside, this is a wonderful shot with great night colours.
02/18/2005 06:21:59 AM
Very nice! Colors are amazing!
02/18/2005 12:52:53 AM
wow! nice shot 9

on of the best this week
02/17/2005 02:56:05 PM
Amazing colors, wonderful profile, reflection and sky. I don't understand the tilt to the right but I'll assume it is normal. :)
02/17/2005 10:21:27 AM
I love this picture of the bridge, the sky is gorgeous expecially the coloring of it! The reflecting of teh bridge on the water is also very pretty. This is my favorite picture yet!!
02/17/2005 06:19:16 AM
Bridge looks nice on the light sky but it seems in bit strange angle... i would try to rotate it bit.
02/17/2005 04:08:11 AM
really nice shot, something about the horizontal "line" in it - I would have tilted the camera to the left ;-)
02/17/2005 12:46:31 AM
straightening the horizon and a bit more brightness to bring out the texture of the high clouds would help....still one of the best I've seen. Good composition, good use of light.
02/17/2005 12:13:01 AM
A bit too dark and a bit too tilted, but the feelings this picture creates in me make sacraficing detail worthwhile. Is it real or is it reflection? Does it bridge the High Way or the Low Road? Are the possibilities for crossing the Bridge infinite? Or, does one just sit and feel this moment forever?
02/16/2005 10:56:02 PM
The reflection just makes the shot here. Great job!
02/16/2005 09:21:23 PM
Awseome photo! Horizon looks a little crooked(could just be me), but i don't even care.
02/16/2005 09:15:02 PM
Ah yes, my bridge. Gorgeous gorgeous photo -- beautiful composition and colors. :) One of my favorites of the challenge.
02/16/2005 06:24:18 PM
The colors are stunning. I love thedeep blue.
02/16/2005 04:35:14 PM
I like the colors in your photo. Good job.
02/16/2005 04:31:13 PM
I would have liked this a little more, if there was a little less sky and more foreground. Also would have liked it a little bit lighter to catch more of the reflection of the bridge.
02/16/2005 04:08:31 PM
well done!!!
02/16/2005 03:56:18 PM
Nice color. I like the crop and the reflection.
02/16/2005 03:21:28 PM
Just lovely. I'd remove the white light just to the right of the bridge.
02/16/2005 03:02:16 PM
Is there a tilt to the bridge or is the picture angled ? Confusing.
Nice colors.
02/16/2005 02:03:01 PM
This is absolutely stunning. My first 10 in a competition filled with beautiful shots...
02/16/2005 09:12:53 AM
I likes. Great job, good luck, I hope I see you in at least the top 10.
02/16/2005 02:18:35 AM
needs to be a little straighter....would of been great
02/16/2005 01:30:32 AM
