Taken at the Taos Gorge Bridge. As far as I know, there isn't REALLY a question as to the safety of this bridge. However, "I" question it's safety everytime we drive over it! It's also a very unsafe bridge as there are no safety guards or anything to prevent people jumping off or being thrown off. In recent months two people have been murdered (gang related) by throwing them off this bridge.

I tried to make this look like the color pictures you see in the newspaper - saturated and left in some grain.

Excellent shot taken. I think what keeps it from being scored higher by me is the lack of something "interesting" for my eye to look at and the fairly bland colors. Beautiful DOF also!

Would've been a better pic if it was a closer shot.

Pretty good photo (the shadow of the bridge is slightly irritating) Great headline. Nicely done.
