I like all the shots. The bridge ones the best. But the first one I would like to see sharpened a little.

I'm so glad you're going to Leadville. I just loved it there when I was younger.

Wow, that bridge looks just like one on HWY 280 in the San Francisco Bay Area spanning a gorge..I would not have know it was different if you had not said anything, your shot of it is really,really good.

Hard to beat the dramatic setting of a bridge shot. My favorite in this set is "Silver."

Love your Colorado Photos. I have been in Leadville,but have never the bridge or the old mine. Will certainly go, the next time I visit my daughter in Aspen.
