In keeping with the bridge theme...
Taken a couple of summers ago from a boat cruise under the Mackinaw Bridge. Converted to grayscale, and duotone added.

Neat shot, Kathy! I hope no ones driving over it--cause it looks like its about to tip over... I especially like the inclusion of the lone gull here (at the top corner)--kind of a flashback to previous posts... :biggrin:

I really like the comp, and I think the greyscale works very well here. Those horizontal lines may be sections of the pillar (it looks like concrete); I like those lines, they give texture to the pillar.

Haven't been on that bridge for ages, nice to see it again and from a perspective I never saw it from.

Thanks, everyone, for your comments. Cindy, everytime I go across, I think of the poor lady in the Yugo that was blown off the bridge in a storm years ago. But I do feel safe going across. I hope they are pretty good about closing the bridge if conditions aren't safe. (I take the center lane, though). Dirty Jobs did a feature on the bridge a while back, where Mike Rowe had to climb to the top. They couldn't pay me enough money to do that :jump:

Really interesting how the game theme has more or less gone full circle.

Very nice image. The greyscale works very well for me.
