Vertigo, anyone?

Trying to break out of the norm and see things from a new perspective.
This is a relatively new pedestrian bridge that crosses the Eno River and leads into the city park where all of my festival shots have come from. This was the first time I crossed this bridge so I wanted to capture a few photos to mark the occasion. Not content with a straight-on approach, I wondered what it would look like if I hung upside down from the top. It probably goes without saying, but it was much harder to compose a decent shot than I expected. ;-)

Edit: It seems many have missed my little winkie there at the end. I did NOT actually hang from the top. I just wondered what it would look like if I had. The difficulty was in getting the comp I wanted to make the shot look convincing. This was shot standing on my own two feet, then the image was flipped in post. While trying to compose this I was wishing for an inverted view, like the old view cameras.
