 This bridge was the first of Santiago Calatrava's work in the United States. It was opened for the first time on July 4, 2004 in Redding California. Go to Santiago Calatravia.com to see more of his work.
This view is from beneath the single pylon that the suspension cables are hung from. I used a Sigma 17-35 zoom at 17MM.

gorgeous. I love calatrava. I see the photo has been validated..i can't imagine why it was in question. Anyway..beautiful hues and composition. A very sensual form. Great photo.

Great textures captured in the sky, the structure and the reflection. I do, however, find the patch of sky in the lower left somewhat distracting. Have you tried cropping it away?

Very simple and beautiful, this has a wonderful abstract feel to it. I love the colours and smooth lines - it feels simplistic and smooth, but there's so much detail and texture to be seen. Just gorgeous!

I like the abstract feel of this. We have to take your word for it that it's a bridge, though.

Muscular architectural study.

cool pic, a tighter frame would be better on my opinion

I had to look up the title because it was so weird. I see Calatrava is an architect, which pretty well removes the doubt about whether or not this is, in fact, a bridge--because without that background, it's pretty much impossible to tell.

This is a great abstraction. The range of tones is lovely--those gradients are very subtle and pleasant. (8)

not much of a bridge
 02/16/2005 02:33:48 PM
I like this one. it has a strong architecture but is also quite abstract. i hope this one does well for you.

It seems to be an interesting subject but it's hard for me to see the perspective without seeing the whole bridge

It's hard to make out the "bridge" part (since I don't recognize the bridge), but I do like the abstract look of the picture!

Nice detail, composition and use of architectural elements.

good creative shot here. The three basic colors and the light play is very interesting. Bravo!
