A wonderful quality image, Mirko. The composition is excellent and the detail super. The b/w and the excellent border add to the effect!

@Klaus: Vielen Dank Klaus. Vielleicht stelle ich irgendwann noch die farbige Version ein. Die Streben sind da nämlich leuchtend orange :-)

Almost abstract in concept and composition.

wow -- this picture has an added dimension to it!! it feels almost 3-D in places -- like cubism... do you see that? some of the shading around the suspension bridge cables (i am assuming that is what they are) seem to be bending light and shadow in curious ways! quite captivating! a wonderful b/w... very beautiful work her Mirko! :)

@dj.tigersprout: Hej DJ. Thanks for your insightful comment and yes, I can see what you mean. The cables divide the picture into three pieces and each of them seems to have a slightly different light ... :-) Thanks for pointing it out.

Great night shot. I like the diagonal lines and how they break-up the image into thirds.

I really like this quite a bit -- the tones are very nice and the composition makes it much more intriguing than just a "straight" shot. I might have moved to take out that stone in the very front. I find it a little distracting from the clean lines elsewhere -- but what do you think?

@GJC: Thanks for your constructive comment, GJC. I intentionally chose a point with the stone in front of the pic. I think it adds some depth to the image. Tomorrow you will find a similar picture here with the same stone up front. Thanks, again.
