Very cool shot. Kind of gives the feel of infinity. Only thing is that little light reflection. But hey, it is what it is. High scores from me.

owen-b said 497 days ago:

Wow, this is gorgeous. Really really gorgeous. The wide format works wonderfully.

sbuzz said 497 days ago:

should be featured...

King said 497 days ago:

I would *die* for a photograph like this in my portfolio. How much to sell me the original and the copyright? LOL. Really fantastic. I can find no fault whatsoever. Congratulations.

eduardo said 497 days ago:

yeah, good but..

inophoto said 497 days ago:

The choice of sjutter speed is excellent, as are the colors in the sky. Couple of things that bother me here, one being the crop amd the other that it is slightly wonky(?). It's beautiful anyway and i've scored appropriately.

inophoto said 497 days ago:

It's not wonky. Ignore me.

duncmc said 497 days ago:

@ Lemmingstone – The light reflection bothers me too. I did wonder about fiddling with it in Photoshop, but I didn't have a clear idea of where to go with it, so I left it as is.

@ owen-b and inophoto – The wide format and crop is a result of this being two photos from different angles which have been manually stitched together in Photoshop. Arguably the composition of both the originals was better, with the bridge to one side of the frame, but I love the panoramic feel of this composite.

@ sbuzz – That would be nice, a feature hatrick.

@ King - Such praise, thanks. You're welcome to buy a print ;-)

@ eduardo - but what…?

Thanks everyone for rating and comments. I still need two more rates to view, but I've got a good feeling about this one.

Congratulations for three features in a row and thank you for your comment on my post.
I think I'm gonna take Andrew's place this week and compete for the lowest number of comments. :O)

duncmc said 497 days ago:

Thanks philippe. As a rule I try not to "rate and run", and rather give some degree of feedback. It's what WS is all about.

King said 497 days ago:

Duncan,
You're my new hero, even though this image is a composite. I crown you King of Bridges!

VernonTrent said 497 days ago:

:-)
congrats!
a great image.

Montage said 497 days ago:

Three features! Well done, duncmc on another great shot of this bridge as well as 3 for 3.

pursang said 496 days ago:

WOW!

bslomovic said 496 days ago:

OK, King beat me to it, but I second whatever he said. This may be my favorite of the three features. All hail the new King of the Bridge.

psychodudu said 495 days ago:

Star collector...we've seen this before...

psychodudu said 495 days ago:

Just pullin' your chain, it's bloody marvelous, and deserves as many stars as you can get for it! Congrats on 3 for 3.

duncmc said 495 days ago:

Thanks again King. When I saw this week's theme I knew my moment had come. I am feeling very pleased with myself for 3 out of 3 features. Thanks again to all who have rated and commented.

Strictly speaking psychodudu you haven't seen *this* shot before. My featured response (#3) to Night and my repsonse (#246) to Negative Space were of the same subject, and admittedly from a similar viewpoint. Well spotted ;-)

As I have said before, I do take a lot of pictures of this bridge, almost to the point of it being an obsession.

For the next WS theme I will get myself up of my royal a**e and find some new subject matter to shoot.
