Golden Gate Bridge from Marshall Beach. On this particuar day there was a minus tide at sunset which allowed us to get much closer to the bridge than usual. Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.

Nice take on the classic icon, Reno.

Wow, that is unusually close Reno. At first I thought it was from the north end until I saw the fort. While I really like the rocky FG, I also wonder if a slightly higher vantage point would have shown more water and given a bit of separation between the bridge and rocks. The color throughout is very natural and appealing.

Reno: I really like the warm and vibrant colors in this scene that you've captured. The composition and techs are spot on. Your photo has to be seen large to be fully appreciated. Richard

Very fine image of world renowned engineering marvel. The light, color, and details look very nice.

Simply beautiful work, Reno...absolutely no nits from me. I love your inclusion of the perfect amount of foreground rocks to ground the scene. Spectacular.

Gorgeous long exposure here with all of the colors well rendered. You handled dynamic range quite well - would love to see something a bit more interesting in the sky though (clouds? stars? moon? more color? etc.) but that's me getting greedy!

Reno,
This is a killer image. Love the story too. What's not to like about bridges, and this is one of the most iconic.
