Challenge: Bridges II (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Olympus C-8080
Location: Chicago, USA

Aperture: f7.1

 This bridge is actually a lot smaller than it appears to be in this photo. It is a pedestrian footbridge that crosses over Lake Shore Drive in Chicago.

I layed down on my belly for this shot, in order to bring the gridwork on the ground dramatically into the foreground. I've crossed this bridge many times, but I never noticed how cool the ground looks with that gridwork pattern. In fact I never even noticed that there *was* a gridwork pattern!

Very interesting POV it makes my eyes follow from the bottom of the bridge to the top. I feel it maybe over sharpened a bit but I like your use of duotone. Great focus and dof. Wish you well in the challenge. 7
