- Support - Dare I say you were inspired by a certain Canadian bridge? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:17, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Haha, well no I wasn't exactly, but I know which one you refer to and I can see the resemblance. I had actually intended to photograph the bridge from the side (it's quite impressive from that angle too, but I wanted to improve on it and take the photo at high tide and with better control of the highlight details), but when I arrived, the light had faded a bit too much and the tide was again quite low, and I realised it was quite a nice view from the road. It was tricky to photograph though. This is a 5 x 2 segment panorama with three bracketed exposures up to 8 seconds, taken on a tripod. On two occasions, I had to remove my tripod from the road as cars were approaching and you can see that I was standing in the middle of the right hand turn lane! I was lucky to find the exact same position again though and there were no stitching errors. Diliff (talk) 12:53, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Very well done. Gorgeous shot. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:39, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Comment IQ is good, but colors are so dull. --Mile (talk) 13:59, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- What colours do you expect to see? It's not a very colourful bridge in sunlight either. All the colours are pastel. Diliff (talk) 14:27, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

- Strong support Sure there isn't an altar in the back there?
Really, though, the deeper in the background you get the more magical this is. Daniel Case (talk) 18:30, 2 June 2015 (UTC) - Support Stunning. -- Pofka (talk) 18:57, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Support Even bridges @Diliff: ? Wow! Very good photographer. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 19:26, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Although a lot of my recent photography has been interiors, I don't really discriminate. :-) Some of my featured pictures on the English Wikipedia are sports, portraits, landscapes, birds, insects and waterfalls. Diliff (talk) 20:04, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Diliff: Whatever! Everything you make is perfect! 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 20:55, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

- Support Great. I really want to know how you get your pictures that sharp. This can't just be the lens I suppose. --Code (talk) 18:11, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- It's just a combination of things: a large number of images stitched together (high resolution), a good lens and then a bit of downsampling and sharpening. No magic involved. Diliff (talk) 18:23, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- Support The pillars behind are not as sharp as they could be, but nevertheless a great picture. --Wladyslaw (talk) 05:59, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
- Comment IMO, Image is tilted counter-clockwise. D kuba (talk) 09:04, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
- I don't think it is. The horizontal lines are horizontal. It's just that the scene isn't perfectly symmetrical. The booth on the right is slightly closer to the camera and appears slightly taller due to perspective correction. Diliff (talk) 07:32, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
