As Mark said, Unusual perspective. That's what makes it unique! Very Nice Shot Bill B

Unusual angle of perspective but... it works for me. This is a nice silhouette example for the challenge. Nice work... Mark J

Jian, I like your perspective here...and your capture of a beautiful scene. I esp like the silhouette of the bridge and the sense of weather (clouds and choppy water)...nice sky and lighting. MFC

Ro,

When I took this photo, my intend is the ray of light being the center of focus. Just like how the female silhouette is looking at the sun and the bridge leading to it. I almost lose my cap taking this photo. The wind was blowing 30+mph and luckily I was fast enough to step on my cap before it blew into the ocean :) -- Jian

I second Ro's, Vikas', and Johnny B's impressions. This is a very captivating image.---Deb

Ooh. Lovely. Besides the silhouettes, the skyscape is beautiful. I really like the way my eye stays in frame, is lead down line of bridge where it ends on far bank and connects to tree in foreground, bringing me down to people--geometric, to organic, then back to geometric again following foreground fence back to bridge again. My mild concern, if you can call it that, is what is the central focus. There's almost *too* much to look at, between bridge, dramatic cloudscape with beams, water, people, and I'm not sure which one I'm supposed to consider of primary import. - Ro
