 This is where we camped for our first night. We arrived at night, so it was nice to wake up to this view. The camera shop I used to back up this SD card butchered all the pictures by compressing and sharpening them, so the quality here is far from ideal.

To be fair, the artifacting around the mountain is caused by MY compression... but I find the texture of the mountain and grass a bit too 'bitty' for my taste, and reminds me of the textures my wife gets in her pictures when she insists on using maximum in-camera sharpness! The bridge itself needed a lot of blurring work to reduce it's over-sharpness.

The only thing I notice from your compression problem is the ghosting along the mountain's edge - some patient and careful cloning could fix that, perhaps? Wonderful tonality in the grasslands and the rocks, and as Gordon has said the composition is wonderful. Tried bringing the sky down a touch? A ND-grad effect or simply some burning might just add that touch more drama - which would I think help to emphasise the height yet more? Great stuff.

I don`t think that there`s been too much damage done here Bob..certainly not enough to spoil the image.
This could just have been another picture of a mountain but capturing the bridge has given it the scale it requires to add the impact

Simply wonderful and going into my favourites.
