 AKA the Main Street Bridge in Fort Worth.

I was surprised at how much attention this got when I posted it on Facebook, including a lot of comments from DPC members. Let's see if that praise holds up in the voting. Freestudies are tough to do well in however, so a high 5 to low 6 is my prediction.

One of my other photos from this session actually connects with me more, but would probably get slammed here. It tells more of a story and documents what I did that afternoon. I rode my bicycle here and was sitting on the edge of river with my feet hanging out over the water, enjoying the coffee I'd brought with me. (Coffee not pictured, but it was there)

i like this a lot .. !! ..
they way you have composed the shot with the bridge and the reflection is brilliant ..
i like the ripples in the water make the reflection of the bridge a bit jagged ..
its great in sepia as well ..

both pictures are wonderful ..
but i like the one with your legs more .. just because it tells a story ..
to me a photo that tells a story is hands down better than something that doesnt ..
of course thats a generalization .. some pics dont need a story they can be so amazing . :)

Beautiful scene, making good use of the strong shape. Not sure whether it needs the right 15% of the picture. Would it be better to crop away the part to the right of the pillar?
