[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This shot was taken in the Marin Headlands looking southeast towards the Golden Gate Bridge. Those folks looking at the tower are not as close to it as it appears. I increased contrast, boosted saturation, cropped to a 2:1 aspect.

I've been at this very spot! Yes, it's true: these folks are actually standing on a cliff area overlooking the bridge so the base of the bridge tower and the highway part are not visible in the photo.

I like how you have chosen to depict the up-close and vertical view of the bridge rather than the typical horizontal view with San Francisco in the background. Having the people in your picture helps give an idea of the perspective, although they'd look the size of ants if they were standing on top of the bridge tower :)

Nice job.

Interesting spot and a look at human great achievement. Very good perspective.
