Austin's Pennybacker Bridge, commonly called Austin 360 Bridge, is truly an extraordinary site. Designed by David McDonald it was the only bridge of its kind in the United States when it opened on December 3rd, 1982. It was the last link to completing Austin's first highway loop circling the city, which utilizes US 183, Hwy 71, Capital of Texas Highway, and Loop 360.

Nice HDR. I like the shape of the tree in the fore ground, I like the colours. Great work all round. :)

Thank you all for you great comments.
Graeme, the foreground tree and rocks were lighted by my PDA phone. I was not getting enough ambient light on these subjects. The orange light on the horizon is from Austin.
This is the first photo I converted to sRGB, to hopefully avoid decreased color depth. I think that I am going to start doing that to all my photos.

Great shot. The tones are mapped so well. The photo looks so dramatic without being overdone. A great sense of being there.

The gnarled rough natural shapes next to the curved bridge and fluid car movements. Great capture.

Great shot- interesting bridge! Is it a similar design to the Sydney Harbour Bridge?

I like the overall photo, however the lighted radio towers in the far background just put this one over the top. This is far and away the best!
