[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Looking straight up along a riveted steel beam forming part of the support structure for the 7th Street Bridge, one of several bridges connecting Pittsburgh's Downtown with the Northshore. Across the top of the beam are thick steel cables stretching in both directions.

I toyed with posting a b&w version of this, but I liked the deep blue color of the sky. Instead I've posted a b&w version as a workshop.

Hi Sandy

Good sharpness and upward pov, with the superb lighting detailing the texture of the steel girder & showing every rivet clearly. A wonderful game of diminishing linear perspective, with impeccable sharpness, & good color. Tfs!

Hi Sandy,
Great POV-- well presented structure. As my husband was an 'ironworker' for many years, I appreciate the view of all the steel and bolts needed to make this massive structure. Well presented. Nice clarity and details. TFS Julie

Great symmetry!! And I love the color. I also really like the shadows... especially all the little rivet shadows. Great shot Sandy .. very well seen. It's as sharp as can be - love it

Hello Sandy, a complete contrast to the soft textures of the scarves of your last shot!
Excellent PoV and good symmetry.
Excellent sharpness right to the very top.
The blue sky is the perfect bg.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Boa noite Sandy

Um abraço
Teresa

Engaging POV and the way light and shadow works here is great.

The illusion of it being vertical / horizontal switches quite easily, your title seems appropriate.

Not only is this technically excellent, it shows an eye for line, composition, POV, perspective, and interpretation. All that adds up to a perfect example of how having good instincts about your photo subject is the magic ingredient that makes the rest work out so well. Impressive shot, and one to be proud of. (Wish I could give it a BONUS smiley!)

A keen compositional eye you have Sandy. I like this a lot. No complaints from me....the b&w version is also attractive, hard to choose which I like better. Regards
Danilo
