Shanghai Urban Urban Urban

The new Lupu bridge in Shanghai is the worlds longest arched bridged. While most traffic travels along the bottom, level, part of the bridge, there is a walk way that goes over the top of the arch and is open to tourists. This affords some excellent views of the Shanghai city, the Huang Pu river and the myriad of skyscrapers surround this location. The soon to close Shanghai Expo site can be seen from here, though not in this shot. To make this image, Jakob Montrasio has used a HDR technique. While many people over do HDR and create photo disasters, on this shot is has worked perfectly. The HDR has emphasized the texture of the city creating the perfect urban jungle look.
