[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Rama VIII Suspension Bridge in Bangkok was opened in 2000 after two years of construction. It crosses the Chao Phraya River and spans a total of 475 meters (300 meters over water plus 175 meters over land). The bridge's support pillars are uniquely located on both sides of the river without any support based in the river. The Chao Phraya River flows from northern Thailand through Bangkok before entering the ocean to the south. This photo captures a look up at one of these support structures and cables from the bridge's pedestrian walkway.

Hallo Mark,
Sehr gute Perspektive und Kontrast dazu den blauen Himmel als Untergrund.

Hello Mark
I have noticed immediately your photo and was in the view-finder of the critics. True E' we have used the same POV, also your photo hits! Soon, Nino.

Mark

This is an excellent graphical shot taken from an unusual POV.

The grey triangle shape at the bottom left corner is a little distracting. Perhaps the bottom 1cm could have been cropped from the finished image?

Nevertheless an excellent result.

Regards
Finlay
