+1 on the B/W. Like a string of diamonds leading to the big show. Great shot!

Yes - really nice.

This is an old bridge on the old Hwy 1, just north of Cayucos, Ca. It crosses over Villa Creek.

Same bridge as posted above ...
According to a passerby who lives on the property, this bridge was flooded in a 1998 storm and sank a little bit, causing the concrete bridge and railing to crack and break.

Now the last shot captures the pain held in the bridge. Very nice capture

Hi Peter,

Nice shot.

I would have panned a bit to the left, dropping the part of a tree and the stream bank on the right, and bringing the damaged railings closer to the center to emphasize them.

Just a suggestion. Nice work.

Thank you very much! I like the way you put that ... the pain held in the bridge. How true.

I appreciate your comment as well. When I was down in the creek scoping it out, your view was my first instinct. Not as much to emphasize the broken railing, but because I thought I would liked what the bold division of the center support, along with the horizontal road bed would've done to the image. When I looked through the groundglass though it was too evenly divided by the strong horizontal and vertical lines, so I decided to shoot it off center and follow the creek instead. There's more potential down there though and I will go back again and try to make it work from a different angle.
Thanks again for the thoughtful comments.

A few more bridge pics before I retreat back into my cave ...
I shot this with my Betterlight scan back. The tones didn't lend themselves to B&W at this hour, and the red algae in the water contrasting with the green bridge almost demanded color. Also I wanted to have a wider view of the structure to go with the details shots.

Just for fun, or in case anyone is interested ... utm 10 S 0725957 3914563
