Howdy Michael,

What a stunning series of images, so many wonderful compositions and things for the eyes to marvel on. The point of view and perspective you've chosen along with the processing treatment make the already visually strong images even more appealing and arresting.

Very nicely done, Great collection of images!!!

Fabulous collection of images. Incredible POV. Very original. Toning you used perfect. Love them

Just taking a second look - and you can scroll up or down - and they FLOW. Makes one heck of a great statement

Thank you

Another remarkable series from you. clapclap

One tip: when you post more than a couple of pics at a time, it makes it easier to comment if you number them. I took care of that for you above.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Very nice and I love the process you did to them, you have quite an eye.

A very impressive series, They are all excellent, but #14 is most striking to me. Are you able to get access inside the towers? I'm told that's equally impressive.

No the towers are off limits unless you want to spend some time with Homeland Security.:ivar

You really worked that bridge over!

I think you have some great compositions, and the processing is superb.

Print and hang!!!!!!!

Thanks. This was my first project. I actually live right next to it.

Nice job!

Very creative…

…almost look as if they were shot on medium format, and scanned at hi-res!

#2, 4, 8 & 10 are my favourites…

…so, what's the secret???

Thanks for sharing!

My secret is living next to the bridge and walking it almost every day. With access like that to a subject you can shoot to you're happy with the results.

Excellent stuff. Seriously nice return for the effort.
