The virgin bride, being pierced.

That's what immediately came to mind, and I'm not going to edit the thought.

It took me a few moments until April's metaphor sank in with me... but now I can't help but see it too. However, what was most striking for me here is that mixture of graphic effect and "historic silver halogenid shot". The whole construction seems to be build out of threads, of structures that alone cannot support weight or withstand forces. But in the same time, the whole construction seems to be unshakeable, untouchable, stable and enduring. There is also a contrast between rigid, dark "fibres" and the bright, think filaments. Just like we see so often in life: growing strong is a work of weaving weak threads into a fabric that helps bridging gaps between here and there... Love that shot!

I am also most amazed how strongly your signature influences the overall balance of this composition.

As far as an overall composition goes, I think it works pretty well for me.

It is interesting how this image is 'high-key' and 'low-key' at the same time. That brings some degree of an ambivalence as to what elements in the image are visually presented as important or unimportant. As a result of that ambivalence, I am not totally sure what was the creator's intention. However, when I read April's comment, I couldn't not to agree with her reading: the high-key part being a virgin bride and the low-key part being a piercing force.

Sorry, Theo; I should have elaborated, but family was calling and it was choice between posting nothing or a least that much.

I do enjoy the very delicate, gossamer lines and curves of the high-key/upper portion of the bridge contrasting with the heavier, more forceful and angular roadway. Also the treatment, which reminds me of a very fine pencil drawing.

Another very appropriate application of your high-contrast approach, I think.

The Virgin Bride being PIERCED!!!! Omagawd! Yes... this is a filthy dirty pornographic exercise in s/m - b/d - rubber - kinkyness! How could you post it Theo? There are ladies here. Children could visit. AAARGH! Need... need... wooden cross, silver bullet, and garlic cloves to exorcise this... this...

(Slap!) Thanks... needed that.

I like it. Has a lacy delicacy to it. Think the pp is particularly effective to create a clean feeling of soaring. Or pierced virgin bride :-)
