I am not convinced that these are the only ways to take an award
winning stereo photo of a bridge.  Why focus on "spectacular" to
the exclusion of other attributes that could make for a winning
image of a bridge?  For example, bridges can be romantic.  Did you
take your wife to see the motion picture "The Bridges of Madison
County," George?  Well, maybe now it is best if you didn't...she
might decide you should not be out seeking bridges to photograph!

There is no single best way.  There is a wide variety of brides in
a wide variety of settings and a wide variety of techniques that
are possible, appropriate, or "best."  It is up to your eye and your
fertile imagination to compose an excellent stereo photo of a bridge.
