1st Place
2883
by Olaf.dk

Redding, California

Cindy's territory - the Sundial Bridge. Designed by the architect Santiago Calatrava. It is definitely an angle! I have a gallery dedicated to this bridge: http://www.pbase.com/olafdk/sundial_bridge At first, I couldn't decide between this one and '2865'. What was I thinking?

Added after the end of the challenge: A short description of how I achieved the "golden hour" colors in post-processing: http://www.pbase.com/olafdk/image/59056963


other sizes: small medium original auto

Thanks Shu, Trav (again) and Techo! I reprocessed shortly after I wrote my last comment, but didn't have the time to post any comment. You all probably left your comments after the reprocessing. The originally posted shot had sharpening halos around the wires. Being a bit more gentle on the sharpening in general as well as applying it selectively took care of the problem.

Splendid! great composition paired with the golden hour. Really like the warm colors.
Definitely like this one more than 2865, with 2866 coming in 2nd.

Thanks Trav - that was enough to push me over the fence. Here is 2883 instead. I will have to re-process, because I don't think the image quality is good enough. I don't have the time now though.

I suppose that if I had to choose, I'd pick 2883, but there were several others that were equally spectacular. Was that you wife and little boy on the Bridge also? If so, spectaular...lol Best Wishes, Traveller
