 It's real name is the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge and it spans the Ohio river between Cinn, Ohio and Newport, Ky on I471 and yes, it's really yellow.
I only found out the real name after doing an internet search. Everyone in the area knows it by "The Big Mac".
I thought this was a good find for a yellow challenge.
I'm sure most will find it boring, though.
Overcast with off and on rain all day.
This is standing high on a hill on the Ohio side looking at Newport, KY.

Isn't this in Ohio or Kentucky? I live in southeast Indiana.

Clever compostion with the daffodils in the foreground! A little more pizazz in the sky would balance the shot nicely, in my opinion.

Good yellows but I would have put some work down on the backgrounds. Either clearer or foggier, this way is neither here nor there. A clearer background would have complemented the bridge ... I think. Good composition, upping it now that I am here 2nd time around.

Double arches? :) Nice shot, you have the bridge in the background and the flowers in the foreground so a good mix of yellow for the challenge. The sky seems to be a bit much, takinga way from the overall shot rather than adding to it and the whole shot seems a bit dull overall in contrast and color. The yellow stands out nicely but the other colors are just there enough to compete with hit. When I scroll up and take out about half the sky it really brings the bridge to be the center of attention instead of fighting with the negative space. A 6

I'm curious to know if the bridge really is yellow. Won't affect the score, just curious. It's a decent shot. There seems to be a lot of haze that's obscuring most of the photo (I know you can't control weather!), and you could probably stand to crop out a bit of the sky. I like how the daffodils match the color of the bridge.

The flowers grab my attention before the bridge does... but that might be what you wanted. I like the lines in this. Nice and clear.
