The Rio Grande Gorge Bridge near Taos, New Mexico. I always wonder how people managed to get over this gorge before the bridge existed.

Wow. There's such a sense of distance and bigness in this picture. Well done, the only improvement I can think of is maybe taking it from a little closer to the bridge so it feels more 3D, like it's going away from us instead of just across the frame. It's starting to do that, but I feel it would be cool with more.

Cute stuff. The viewpoint makes it look like the mountains are supported by the bridge!

Very good photo. The only thing I don't like is that the top of the bridge and the edge of the canyon are on the same level - not enough contrast

This is a tough one to shoot; the light is perpetually harsh and the shadows deep. You've done well.

i know i've seen this bridge before and i'm not suprised to see it here-it's a magnificant bridge! However in this particular image it seems to fade into the background to easily

I love the sky and I love the canyon. I'm not sure that I like the way that the bridge lines up with the edge of the plain. To me, it makes the picture look a bit like a rough composite (I'm not implying that it is, by the way) and robs the final image of a real sense of scale.
