Support -- Diliff (talk) 14:35, 10 December 2014 (UTC)- Support, once I looked closer and realized that dark spot above the bridge is not an errant cloud's shadow but a coniferous tree. Daniel Case (talk) 20:33, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

- Support I went three times over this bridge, but always coming from the other side. Unfortunately I never got out of the car to enjoy this part of the CA1.--Hubertl (talk) 07:31, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
- It's worth stopping, there is a car park just 100 metres away from the bridge. But you could stop every few Kms and never actually get anywhere. The scenery is quite stunning. Some of the very best views unfortunately had nowhere to stop. :-) Diliff (talk) 09:19, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Oppose Sorry, while I generally admire your photos, I feel like this shot is not up to your other quality work. Shooting southbound is what most photographers do at this place. However, I would have suggested also exploring the other side of the road (to the viewer's left). That view exposes more of the Pacific and makes the viewer understand the height of the canyon better. Now, what I don't like is your choice of the time of day. Also, the climatic conditions were somewhat unfavorable (see the hazy sky in the background). In general (and maybe I'm more biased than everybody else because I know the place well), this specific shot lacks the wow for me. Again, your other work is outstanding. Best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 02:09, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Frank, I understand your point but your suggested view has the big disadvantage that the power supply lines are disturbing the scenery in a significant way. And I think the coast line in Diliffs image is a good framing for this bridge. --Wladyslaw (talk) 07:22, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
- Frank, I did actually explore both sides of the bridge but didn't find a view that I liked. I agree that the other side gives a better impression of the height of the bridge, but I think it's an inferior view of the coastline because it's mostly obscured behind the bridge and the hill on the left. I don't think either view is necessarily 'the best'. They are show different things more clearly. I don't consider the haze a particularly unfavourable condition. It's subtle and doesn't really affect anything but the clarity of the horizon. It was pretty characteristic of my entire 2 day drive along the coast, lots of nice deep blue skies but a persistent haze along the horizon. Diliff (talk) 11:26, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
