FIRST IMPRESSION: Great sweeping curves. I love the texture, light and shadow.
CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.
COMPOSITION: Excellent composition. The lines of the bridge cause the viewer's eye to sweep across the photograph, taking in all the detail.
TECHNICAL: Great exposure, good detail from light to dark with no blowouts. The use of black and white makes the focus of this shot the bridge and its texture/light/shadows, rather than the brighter leaves of the trees. The sweeping curves and light through the bridge railings really set this image apart from the others.
CONCLUSION: A great image, one of my top scorers this week.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!
The tree in the upper right is a serious distraction for me when I look at this pic. Nice bridge, well framed and shot. I would've considered doing this in color, since there seems to be quite a few trees with leaves and open water.
I really like the curves of this shot but I think a smaller aperture would have put the entire shot in focus and not left the tree on the right and the very bottom left of the brige a little out of focus.
beautiful photo... the contrast offered in this image lends itself very well to black and white... the smooth curve of this bridge is also nice.. great work :) = 10 - setzler
This lures me right in. And I love the title. Not entirely technically sound.. but still a favorite of this challenge. Nice job. This is something you should be proud of. It shows that it doesn't have to be technically "perfect" to make a point.
Fantastic shape to the bridge. The trees act as a beautiful frame for the subject. I also think that the shadow falling across the bridge is a bonus too. I really liked the photograph.
Oh I like this - DOF, those curves, the repetitions of the balustrades and their shadows ... I have reservations about the b&w though - looks like it might have been a quite high-colour scene, though I guess the flare out out the sky is more bearable in monochrome.
Love this shot, great lines leading into and thru the pic. The shadows work great to add interesting shapes on the bridge. Only suggestion to make this shot "over the top", is a tad more DOF. Great work on this !
