I thought much about this challenge and tried to see how I could address this issue. I had to go back to Redding on a business trip and remembered Calatrava's Sundial Bridge. Against the deep blue night sky, I was able to photograph the clean, crisp lines of this beautiful bridge.

Nice one indeed. I realised it was a plane wing, but wasn't sure whether it was some stunt planes smoke trail. This is very good - love the clean lines and the fit for the challenge. Great when vou can time plane trips with challenges like this one. Shame about the disqual.
easily my favorite from this challenge. The spotlighting is interesting. Is this an affect you applied or natural? I would love to see a full view of this to see how this component fits into an entire bridge. 8.
Thanks everyone for all the great comments. I didn't have to do much except crop the image. Here is the original file. Cropping is definitely a photographer's best friend.
Cool shot! Where is this bridge at? I'd like to see it. From a technical pov, you have color banding in the sky. I always find this destracting. What size file did you save this to? Did you use the entire 150k?

Wow, when you shot this, it's almost as though you knew it would ribbon here. Well, I can't see why it won't. Nice, vibrant colors. Simple and elegant, just the type DPCers get all hot and bothered for. I'll give you a good vote...after all, that was the plan all along, right?
I know that bridge... I live in Redding.... almost exactly what I was going to shoot for the challenge... didnt enter the challenge though.. Good luck and hope this does well!! A 10 from me!
nice abstract. wish the sky was a deeper blue. the light on structure seems to not coincide with your focal point. maybe some burning and dodging so it's easier on the eye to get to the tip...sorry i'm being picky. maybe a bit more room after the tip would help as well...sorry now i'm being really picky...i'll stop now.
