This is arguably one of the most photographed bridges in the UK. The Old Bridge crosses the 18th fairway at the Royal and Ancient Golf Course, St. Andrews. On this bridge, the golfing greats who participate in the British open are photographed as they move towards the 18th green. The history books are full of pictures of Seve Ballasteros, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, to name a few. On Sundays the course is open to the public. The shops in St. Andrews are full of pictures of the golf course.I wanted to take an image of the bridge that had a strong HDR feel (strong for me anyway). I'll be interested in your thoughts.

This what I like in HDR. Realism+, color+, detail+. Clean with no glow, not over sharpened. All easy to say, not easy to do.

Despite the sky, this is excellent. How many centuries will that bridge? When they did neither imagined that would be seen by so many people around the world. Something that looks so rustic and simple at the same time, there is its beauty.
