It was an unusually hot day in February. High of 83. I wanted this photo to have the feel of the heat. So I adjusted the curves to bring the yellow out, like in Spike Lee's movie, Do the Right Thing.
other edits: Unsharp mask, channels.

Interesting concept and composition. I want to see your subject better though. Exposure control is tough when your background is so much brighter than your subject; fill flash can help in these situations.
I don't get the title. The shadows are too dark for my taste. You don't really see the bridge. Can't decide if the model adds or subtracts from the image.
What I love about this photograph is that you haven't just taken a dramatic photo of a big, serious, imposing bridge (there's dozens of those). Instead you've taken a position regarding your subject bridge. It may be a rather wacky position, but at least you're saying something! So, even though this is not the most technically perfect image, it has an artistic vitality that's missing from virtually all of the many images that will inevitably finish higher in the voting. Therefore I'll do my tiny bit to redress that. 10
Beautiful - the colours are fantastic, and the composition is excellent. It'd be nice if there was a bit more light on the girl, but that's pretty minor as she is still very clear and the darkness makes a nice contrast with the bright background. I love the colour cast to this. Very nice!
