Astoria-Megler Bridge

Comments, ratings appreciated--thanks

Great perspective and capture, it looks like the road to the abyss. Nicely done.

I've been looking at it for a while, and I like it!

The top being out of the mist attract my eye, and the steep slope makes me fall into the abyss. Now, what is interesting is the presence of the bridge support right where the road vanishes into the fog. It is very reassuring. With it you sort of think it goes somewhere: it strongly mitigates the vertigo I get if I cover it with my hand.

 

Still, you do need a long slope down to trigger this vertigo effect which gets negated (positively) at the end of the run. Therefore, this composition is more effective than the other vertical one!

 

Wish you far less mist in Greece!

very nice, i like how it looks kinda old u know.very well done

Peter and Juan, thanks for your comments.

 

Salvatore, I prefer this on to the vertical one, too. Thanks for your comments and observations.

A nod from this viewer as well. The strongest of the bridge series imho. Regards,

Robert, although I like this crop as well, the other version in my opinion is preferable.

Pawal and Amar, thanks for your comments. I'm hoping to try some different approaches to this the next time I hear the fog horns . . .
