    Re: Golden gate

    I like it. I like how you can see all the way down to the other end of the bridge as well as super high up.

    Re: Golden gate

    The curved distortion and leaning of the closest tower bothers me but I do like the point of view here.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    It's a classic shot. The GG Bridge doesn't seem to have a bad side.

    Cheers,

    I can almost see Kim Novak jumping in the water and Jimmy Stewart jumping in right after her.

    Re: Golden gate

    I like the angle but I think the colors are a bit weak. maybe tweak the curves?

    Re: Golden gate

    This is not bad, but i think the angle distortion is a little bothersome to me here. It's a good perspective as well. I would have liked to see the entire base in the frame rather than cutting it off. Was this shot from on the water a as your others? If so, you may need to get further away from the bridge to frame it as you have attempted to.
