A great perspective and capture of the Gateway Arch and Eads Bridge. Clarity is very good of the architecture of the bridge and great lighting shows up the colours very nicely. I like the cloudy blue sky in the background. Well composed Nik!

Both the Gateway Arch and the bridge look really impressive, and I especially like your point of view and the fine textures you have brought out in the bridge. The sky looks really lovely and the structures are standing out from it in an excellent way.
The photo is pin sharp showing such clear and well defined details all over, and the exposure is spot on.
The format and framing is perfect and with the arch off to the right, it is a very good balance in the composition. I really like this photo, and it is so lovely and well taken, and with an excellent DOF.

I like the composition and the angle of view; very interesting to see the very modern arch behind an obviously very old bridge; very sharp focus;

Interesting shot, love how you got the gateway Arch,with the bridge before it, love that bridge, it looks old on the left, When I travelled to Arizona in 1994 I saw this and wondered why it was there, lol,, the clouds makes it dramatic I think as well

Your kind review is appreciated! The arch was a celebration of the expansion into the west. It was completed in 1965.

Nik,
An interesting picture of the Gateway arch behind the Eads Bridge over the Mississippi River in St Louis with a mackerel sky above providing a beautiful background. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Comment from Brenda Curley
This composition has an interesting perspective.
The arch being the focus seems to be emphasized by the bridge crossing in front of it. Experimentation is good and many times works.
I think it does here.
I like seeing this Gateway Arch from a different angle since the viewer can observe the height in relation to the bridge. The colors of the bridge and sky are
complementary. And, the right side of the bridge is there to anchor and does not interfere with the focus.
Good shot.

I really like the textures and tones in the bridge itself and a great sky to boot. However, for me at least, the arch in the background of the bridge is a bit distracting.
