You didn't need to make up such a long title...The picture tells the whole story...Aside from it being the golden gate bridge.

Breathtaking. Where is the bucket of paint and harness?

I have no idea how you managed to get this picutre, but it is great. I guess I didn't know it was that red. the lighting is great, no disturbing shadows or bright spots. Great angle. Definately something new. Funny how they don't make him wear a mask or anything to protect him from paint fumes. Anyway great shot and good luck with the challenge.

I like the balance . 3 elements. Bridge (with man) - Water - Hills.

Kind of a cool picture, but the title's TOO long. There must be some way to get the same point across without the wordiness. The shadow on the painter's face bothers me, but I like the composition and balance of the photo. Creative photo.

This is a great shot. Nice subject choice for this challenge. How did you get so close? Do you have a great telephoto lense or really good connections?
08/15/2002 01:21:00 PM
Good composition. I would expose less, and increse contrast.
08/15/2002 02:42:00 AM
Great subject! Needs just a touch more contrast I think.
08/14/2002 08:45:00 PM
looks like a hard shot to get! clever subject.

I think that I'd need image stabilization to take this shot. Nice photo. Focus looks good, lighting is good. A new paint job certainly fits the catagory. 7

great idea. waht happens when you saturate the color more? How did you hook up with this one?!!!
08/14/2002 03:01:00 AM
Your title made me smile even before the picture loaded. This guy is nuts. :) Great original idea for something new!
08/13/2002 07:10:00 PM

I like this picture. Wished you would have changed the angle in order to loose the tourists in the background but without losing the view of Tiberon. The painter himself is smiling in a contrived way which is somewhat unfortunate.He knew too well a picture was being taken of him.Also find the title too long for my taste. 7 Journey

Nice pic. An angle that would have provided the comparison of the Bridge with Guy Who Paints it, conveying the incredibly large task at hand could have been very impacting. Perhaps you did shoot a wider angle?
08/13/2002 12:08:00 PM
8/13 -- A bridge worker was just killed in an accident...some timing for me to come across this one...
08/13/2002 09:24:00 AM
Nice shot, wish his face wasn't in shade but I am thinking he probably wouldnt take kindly to being asked to move it obligingly when doing such a big job!!!

What an opportunity!

Very interesting subject matter!
08/12/2002 11:29:00 AM
Looks like a picture that might be seen in a travel magazine. I like the angle of the shot.
08/12/2002 11:18:00 AM
Great shot, lots of drama...
08/12/2002 06:47:00 AM
I don't think this photo is quite perfect technically, but it is a very, VERY good shot, and I am giving it a '10' for creativity. As expected, there are lots of submissions of babies, puppies, new crayons, new flowers, etc., which are good but, again, predictable and a bit (sorry) boring. This photographer obviously went out of his way to REALLY do something 'new' for 'something new'!

i was there yesterday, this bridge is my favorite landmark
