I was aboard a ferry when this shot was taken.

Marcelo Fernan Bridge is an extradosed cable-stayed bridge located in Metro Cebu, Cebu in the Philippines. It spans across Mactan Channel connecting Cebu Island to Mactan Island.

Marcelo Fernan Bridge was opened in August 1999 to decongest the traffic from the older Mactan-Mandaue bridge. The bridge has a total length of 1237 metres (4058.40 feet) with a center span of 185 metres (606.96 feet). The bridge is one of the widest and longest bridge in the Philippines. It was named after Senator Marcelo Fernan, a political figure from Cebu City. (Wikipedia)

Hello Danilo:

You wonderfully captured the picture from the right angle. I love it. The blue sky and the bridge are so interesting. The cloud even enhances this picture. Good work. Sothy

A beautiful view Danilo. The details are expressive but in my view you should crop it from the top right so taht the bridge gives the look of a diagonal.
Regards,
Rajeev

Impressive sky! nice capture, regards, Tibo

Hello Danilo,
Interesting point of view and nice framing of the modern landmark of Cebu City!
Great lines and the summer sky is most attractive!
However, in my opinion the old bridge is by far more charming...
Greetings,

Yes, such bridges are impressive when seen from a ferry. Nice diagonal, I'c crop it from the top, to make it more panoramic. But it's good.

Hi Danilo!

Something diferent from you today! Not a beautiful tropical landscape but a, lets say, an "urban" landscape? The result is as excellent as always. Beautiful POV and perspective, excellent light control and beautiful colours. Congratulations!

Hi Danilo!
Good composition with the diagonal of the bridge and the low horizon.Good depth and a great contrast of the construction with the nice sky.
Regards,Leo

Being on the ferry provided you with an excellent POV for this image. I like the strong diagonal. I also like the saturated blue of the sky but take care - you have left some selection lines visible. Still a good shot.

Hi Danilo!
Excellent POV and very well framed picture by the clouds in both sides of the bridge.
Great grafism and light.
The soft lines of the clouds offers a perfect contrast with the geometrical lines of the bridge.
TFS and have a nice week!

Hello Danilo

Great pov and superb colors. Very sharp.
Very well done.

I like the composition of this, Danilo. As others have said, the interplay between the diagonals of the cloud lines and the bridge is what really makes this shot. However, when you changed the colour of the sky in PP, you left the original colour under the bridge stays and under two of the bridge arches (or at least you didn't change it to the same colour) - so sorry to say that somewhat spoils the image for me. Cheers . . . David

Olá Danilo, spectacular perspective of this bridge, that remembers me the Vasco da Gama bridge that we have in Lisbon. I love the graphism of it against the wonderful blue sky. A very sucessful shot!
Have a nice weekend,
Ricardo
