Lights atop the bridge highlighting the low lying clouds and the cable reflection on the glassy waters with the bridge shadow also casted...Beautiful...simply so...love it! "Sunset Hunter"

M Hauss		06-May-2010 20:52
This is without a doubt one of the best night shots I have ever seen on pbase (or elsewhere). Everything about this picture is just right: the golden glow that is perfectly captured, the composition and angle that shows the vastness of the bridge, the shadow on the water that gives it a three-dimensional feeling and that perfect amount of detail that let's you discover something new every time you take a look yet doesn't make the picture uneasy. Simply put: a perfect shot! Big vote.

pure gold Sandi...this classic scene has rarely been captured in such a stunning image...hats off to you...V

Barbara Read and Fred Schaad		16-Sep-2008 14:40
This is a terrific shot! Love the light and angle of view. My only nit is the big blog of black in the left foreground. Not much you can do about that now but if you'd had a flashlight with you, you could have exposed that a little to bring out some detail in the grass or rock. Nevertheless, a truly fine photo. Voted

Gordon W		16-Sep-2008 14:34
Very well shot, Sandy!

Guest		16-Sep-2008 14:08
