 shot in the dark, you can see a few stars between the rafters. 2+ min exposure. I must be a troll, I find myself under bridges quite abit. Boosted exposure in raw and developed with daytime white balance (5400 K). Only a selective color adjustment, shadows/higlights, curve and level for a slight color tweak. Resized, rotated, crop, sharpen. Save for Web.

Forresthill Bridge is the third highest bridge in the United states at 730 feet.

This was a great idea for a picture but it looks a little overexposed and increasing the contrast would have helped.

Awesome. Makes me feel like i'm jumping off. I wish that either the shadow was in perfect alignment, or that there weren't any shadows at all.

The bridge leads my eye to the support which is uninteresting

Neat perspective and nice photo. Be cool to see a version of this at high noon when the shadow is centered down the middle.

it would have been cool if the bridge was cutting the edges of the frame at the same height (more symmetrical)
