This is a picture of the bridge as seen from a boat. The bridge is between Baytown and Pasadena TX.

Comments welcome.

Cool bridge & a nice representation of it.

It might be a little hot. Your whites appear to be slightly washed out. You night be able to use your shadow/highlight filter to bring back some detail in the stark white. The sky is real pretty and could have been enhanced with a polarizer.

If this is a walk bridge and it's close to where you live you might consider walking it to shoot more. I am sure the design of this bridge would lend itself to be photographed in many ways. I would look for patterns, repetition, and contrast between the bridge and sky.

Overall a nice shot of a cool bridge.

I will agree that the whites tend to be almost blown. I did take a copy and I think that they are recoverable. I like the composition and the rest of the colors are pretty good.

Great shot of a very unique looking suspension bridge.

Just ran across this Chris. Were you in a boat for this shot. I have only been able to shoot from the Baytown side at the marina.
