The fellow who designed this bridge has a lock of his hair inside one of the cables.

Terrific image. Excellent colors and light. BV

Great tones and choice of timing with that yellow taxi ~ feeling the size of the bridge too! V

Dan Greenberg		28-Feb-2013 04:10
Great shot and how fortuitous to have the bright yellow cab bringing out all the other bright yellow accents which all compliment the tall teal spires of the bridge. A very dynamic image. ~BV~

Lamar Nix		28-Feb-2013 02:19
Great vantage point and lively, vibrant colors! V

the iconic bridge! it is such a feature of the city, instantly recognizable. but i'd no idea the guinness family was behind it. an impressive, soaring image. V

Love the yellow car under the green archway....this is way good! V

Mmmm Guinness. Aside from the reaching mountains, I'd swear you're on the MacDonald Bridge in Halifax (incidentally; designed by Phillip Pratley, one of Canada's foremost long-span bridge designers who had also been responsible for the Lions Gate Bridge). Great PoV David; punched with yellow accents.

Beautiful light and color in this excellent composition. The height of the bridge combined with the little yellow car is really striking. V.

Gorgeous!!!! I'm proud to say that I've driven on this bridge V

Amazing what you can do with beer. I knew it was strong, but not this strong!

Peter Sussex		27-Feb-2013 21:19
Excellent POV to see this wonderful bridge, especially with the popping out yellow car. Scaling is terrific. V

Fantastic! Love it! V

John Reynolds LRPS		27-Feb-2013 20:28
Great viewpoint and perspective. V.

Johnny JAG		27-Feb-2013 19:50
Great pun.

Helen Betts		27-Feb-2013 19:43
Love the distorted angle of the bridge, giving the image a dynamic feel. The bright yellow taxi was perfectly timed as well, complementing the other bits of yellow in the picture. V.

janescottcumming		27-Feb-2013 19:14
Love those long shadows and how we can see the snow covered mountains through the arch of the bridge. V

bill friedlander		27-Feb-2013 18:10
Ditto Walter's comment! An excellent shot indeed! V

John Hamers		27-Feb-2013 18:04

Amazing composition and POV...V.

A Vancouver Icon just don't try to use it at rush hour:-) Great shot David of one of my favourite bridges...

borisalex		27-Feb-2013 16:27
A beautiful Art Deco Bridge, the wide angle is perfectly chosen and lens is great! V.

Alain Boussac		27-Feb-2013 16:15
Impressive and superbly taken. I like that you waited for the passage of the yellow cab to create the harmony... V.

Walter Otto Koenig		27-Feb-2013 16:06
A well executed wide shot from this well chosen vantage point. Great timing too, because the yellow car really makes this work. "V"

Jim Coffman		27-Feb-2013 15:54
This is a very powerful perspective! Well done,David!
