COMPOSITION... The scene is well exposed and lit, nice vivid colors...nice deep blue sky,,, if you're not using a polarizer you should try it and see how bluer the sky turns out :) Two things I'd mention composition-wise... The airplane is way too small to make much of an impact in the scene. I would have waited for it to pass. If it were conveniently flying overhead just as you snapped the shutter, that would be another story :) I also find that the orange overpass in the background detracts and clutters up the scene. My crop would be a little lower at the top, and cropped on the right just enough to exclude the orange overpass. I think that even results in a nice leading line in the image...your main bridge would then extend from the left border in the foreground to the right border in the background, strengthening the composition. I like the foreground objects,,,they add interest and almost frame the bridge. Too bad there wasn't overhanging branches of a tree or something similar to complete the frame :)
TECHNIQUE... Light's a little harsh and direct. Some evening or morning light would be excellent. Dramatic clouds too but you can't control the weather :) Nice sharpness, excellent image quality.
OVERALL... With a little cropping I think the composition can even be better, but still a nice colorful shot. I always try to keep elements that are too small to see out of the composition, unless they are part of a larger scheme, like people in a crowd...
A nice image, with interesting lines and shadows. The light that is present, however, is not that exciting. You might try early morning or sunset to capture some really interesting light here; that would, I feel, make this image even better.
Way too much going on here. Lets see, should i focus on the yucas, or the plane, or that tree to the left. Oh, i almost forgot about the bridge and i can't really see it. I do like the colors though.
I like the perspective, but I know this bridge...I think the afternoon light from the west side would put more focus on the bridge itself. Gorgeous shot though. Great color and depth of field. This water never looked so good.
