San Francisco landmark Golden Gate bridge.
Title taken from the poem "The mighty task is done" by Joseph Strauss.
Shot at night with the aperture as small as possible to give the starry lights effect. Pretty much as shot, cropped about 2% off the image for balance, topaz denoise, resize for submission, sharpen. Wish I could've removed the 2 star trails, but then, it's 'basic editing'.

Was hoping it would end up in the top 10 and am so glad it made it there. Thanks all for the wonderful comments. It's a cliche shot of San Francisco and was worried that it'll get lost among so many other Golden Gate shots in this challenge, some from this same perspective. Managed to hang in there :)
