Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer.

A little blown out behind the bridge but the jet stream adds to the shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 05:28:59 PM
Nice combo of light and bridge structure.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 04:10:12 PM
Earlier would be better.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 03:21:07 PM
Good sunset or sunrise. Nice placement of the sun behind the bridge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 01:41:37 PM
Excellent! I like the cloudy haze look behind the bridge, adds a level of interest that is captivating. I also like the trail up in the upper left as it adds more interest.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 08:21:03 AM
trying to decide if the con trail is an asset or not. hmmmmm maybe not. love the toning and perspective
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 06:46:57 AM
The bottom 1/4 of the picture doesn't seem to add anything except a dark muddiness. I'd crop it up from the bottom a bit. Fun shot.

 03/14/2009 04:44:30 AM
Nice view on the bridge with a lot of contrasts.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 02:44:57 AM
perhaps a reference to the chilling documentary about suicides? Good flick that.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:52:04 PM
Other than the plane trail in the sky this is a nice shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:38:39 PM
Gorgeous. The jet in the sky is really neat.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:39:21 PM
The dark front left takes a little away from this one in my opinion. Otherwise quite nice. Maybe just crop it a bit more. The jet trail is not really that bad to me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:11:33 PM
Beautiful shot of this icon, and well composed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:43:22 PM
i love the plane streak. i just love the story this seems to tell
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:38:21 AM
Nice shot. The B&W does well and the angle of the shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:43:53 AM
Very nice, the contrail adds a lot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:12:22 AM
B&W was an excellent choice here. The bridge looks great against that sky, and I love the jet streak that you captured. I might have liked this a tad better if the bottom was cropped a little more, as the rocks in the foreground just kind of feel unnecessary.. All in all, this is an awesome capture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 05:51:47 AM
very mystic, deep dark tones (almost to deep)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 11:05:46 PM
striking image
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:40:36 PM
Know this bridge. Know this place. Didn't know it could be so lovely in this light. B&W was an inspired choice!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 07:04:23 PM
The contrail really adds such an interesting detail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:10:03 PM
San Fran? love the shot from this viewpoint, and cool capture of something in the sky
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:47:07 PM
Love the light, wish the contrail wasn't there, really draws the eye
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:53:02 PM
The sun is a distracting IMO.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:26:37 PM

Well done, a little dark, but it works in this photo IMO.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:05:25 PM
great angle, but the shore is a little dark, and there is too much of it...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:32:16 PM
I like the composition here
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 02:26:59 PM
I like how you caught the path of the plane shooting away.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:56:29 AM
Interesting but, too many details lost on both sides of the spectrum.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:04:57 AM
Nice. Which side is this from ? The foreground looks too dark, adding detail would make this much better
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:24:17 AM
I like the b&w conversion and the plane in the sky adds to this shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:01:12 AM
I really like the deep contrast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:50:05 AM
I like this in black and white. Very dramatic.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 12:54:46 AM
What strikes me about this is the relative solitude of the location from which you shot (or so it feels) yet there's undoubtedly tons of activity beyond - cars on the bridge, the plane going by, a city full of people and sound. Yet from here - peaceful with just the sound of the water hitting the rocks.

contrail is a bit distracting
