This is the first challenge that has come up in quite a while that sparked any interest in me. I didn't know if I would shoot for it until I woke up this morning and noticed that we had a rather thick fog outside. I have been to and photographed this bridge many times before, but never in the fog. I haven't been to the bridge in quite a while though, so it was a refreshing trip.

I love how the world behind it is faded almost completely away. This looks like many other shots in the challenge, but yours has a magic that they lack. 8
Forgive me for saying this, but the angle and idea seems like its been done a million times. HOWEVER! Very well done! nice tones, framing, and use of lines, if i was a member i'd give it an 8! Very well executed
Nice perspective on this one. With a little less detail in the background, you could have almost made it look like it was sitting in the clouds. Love the black and white.
