 I saw someone take a photo from here when I was young, it was in b&w and I was always amazed at how large the bridge seemed as it faded into the fog, I am quite proud of this one sice it is so similar to the photo I had remembered.

converted from raw, cropped and rotated. Then used contrast masking and masked out some of the blue clouds so they weren't so bright. Then a a couple selective color layers, USM and resized and flattened. then another pass of USM but then masked out the edges so there weren't slight halos. Ran through NI twice, one time masking out the bridge. Save for web.

The big soft spot is very distracting. The rest of the photo has great color and sharpness though.

Very nice fun capture, just to much haze for me.

Bummer if that is fog obscuring the upper art of the span there. Double bummer if it is dodged to look that way. I like the shots of this bridge, though this angle is perhaps not as appealing as the others.

The conditions were perfect for this well done bridge shot and you have done a great job in taking advantage of the opportunity.

You have some of that WOW factor in this one. I really like the way the fog softens the bridge and the light. The colors in this shot are awesome. Nice capture.
