[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Seen here are the support structures for the new arched bridge across the Colorado River, which will replace the existing bridge, across the wall of the Hoover Dam, just off frame, to the left. Hoover Dam was completed in 1936. Taken last November, so it's probably nearing completion by now. The colors of the red rock gorge, & cyan water are natural. I've used a polarizing filter.

Stunning composition and lighting here with an amazing red hue rock formation. This is truly a man made wonder and you have captured this gigantic structure well. I love the colour of the turquoise water below and the metering is superb also. Well done!

Hi Chris,

Quite a view, I wouldn't want to be on the crew building that bridge. A friend of mine visited there last month and the bridge wasn't finished yet. I like the high POV over the Colorado River. Very sharp and colorful, TFS.

Best regards,
Werner

Chris,

I find the colors a little too saturated for a landscape. It is indeed a good record of the new bridge construction, with great composition and DOF.
Cheers,

Now there's an impressive construction project - you'd want to be wearing your safety harness on that one!!

Great view - timing in terms of light was probably not ideal but you obviously have the skills to deal with it and still turn a thoroughly professional looking shot.

Hello Chris,

Interesting composition and great point of view.
I think the colors are too strong.
It's just my opinion.

Best regards,

Hi Chris,

What a great explosion of the colors, by including this Fe-rich (?) landscape with great clarity and perfect sharpness. The green colored vegetation gives great contrast to the partially barren landscape. The water is amazing and makes this picture an eye-catching one.
Very well seen, my friend.

best regards,
Paras
