I was in NYC just 3 weeks ago, and I also had the picture in my head already before going there.
I found myself walking across Brooklyn Bridge at 7 a.m in the morning looking for early dramatic clouds. Great view of the city from the bridge. And as you say it is great to work the lines out from almost any perspective you shot from.

wow amazing. I had done a sketching of the Brooklyn Bridge a year ago. I was kinda proud of it, cause my tutor said it was good. but when i saw your picture, and look back at my sketching....i should've be more detail about the web lines thingy. But it's a good shot!

I'm a big fan of architecture with clean, sleek lines so, more often than not, I'm drawn particularly to suspension bridges.
This piece is beautiful because of those lines and also because of the angle and the symmetry. Excellent job.

WOW! good noticed, I really like that geometry!
Some time people can do fantastic structures when not busy destroying something else....

There is no other bridge in the world that looks like it. Especially from that perspective.

The b/w works great here, making me feel even more trapped as I probably would if this was in colour.
It's interesting really, feeling so small and insignificant and yet I keep having the urge to grab that net and climb up 'til I reach the top and can gaze around.
Hidden beauty in architecture, well captured, G.

Very apt comment for a photo that captures our attention with all its webbing.

This reminds me of the front cover of a book/play I need to study for my English literature course. It has a b&w photo of the Brooklyn bridge and looks very similar to this one

I feel helpless in it's webbing, yet I stare up at it in awe

With the clear channel down the middle, it looks as if it's about to take off on bat or insect wings. Nice.
