Verrazano Twilight
The Verrazano Narrows Bridge

This year is the 40th Anniversary of the bridge.

Photo of the Staten Island side of the bridge. I did not want to
take the common "Full Bridge" shot, since there are way too many of
those out there, so I went with more of a diagonal approach.
Despite some comments, all the colors in this photo are natural.
The only thing I did was increase the contrast in the whole picture.
Photo was taken just after sunset, when colors were just settling down.

Very nice, I like the good strong diagnals.
02/21/2005 02:54:47 PM
This is really eerie & strange. I gave it an 8. The colors are a little muddy and the sharpness is a little soft for the subject, or I'd have it at 9. Strong entry.

Absolutely beautiful! Great shot! 9
02/20/2005 09:18:55 AM
amazing colors...how'd you do that :)?

Amazing how a shot like this makes the ordinary hub-bub of urban life so serene and even spiritual. Congratulations on capturing this through your use (or God's) of color, form, and cropping.

Very beautiful!!!!!!!
02/19/2005 12:18:43 PM
wow!! home sweet home!!

The lights on the bridge are great. I realize this is a basic challenge, so it would probably have been tough to make the lights so green and the water a little less saturated, but I do think the water came out too saturated. It works beautifully on the sky and bridge lights, though.

Is the colour of the river natural? Regardless, my first 9 so far in the challenge. Edit: make that 10
02/19/2005 07:10:10 AM
I assume you have done a fair bit of "tweaking" to get those colors, but it sure makes this photo a pleasure to look at. 8

A beauty, hopefully a ribbon for you.
02/18/2005 10:27:41 AM
Love the colours here.
02/17/2005 02:23:47 PM
The colors are absolutely beautiful. Nice and sharp. I think this photo would of looked nicer if you would have gotten the whole bridge instead, but It's still one of my favorites. I gave you a big 10!
02/17/2005 09:32:59 AM
nice colors
02/16/2005 05:10:55 PM
love the water
02/16/2005 04:24:29 PM
Looks like there was a lot of post processing done, but a great photo anyways.

B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l.
Loved the color on the water! Great job indeed!
02/16/2005 08:43:39 AM
A little heavy on the color tweaks
02/16/2005 07:21:50 AM
nice sky and composition!
02/16/2005 05:29:45 AM
A good range of colours here that work pretty well IMO. And i think it's the colours that make this shot..

well done and good luck.
