Challenge: Leading Lines (Classic Editing)
Collection: Black and White
Camera: Sony DSC-F707
Location: Linn Cove Viaduct, near Boone, NC
Date: Mar 1, 2003
Aperture: 8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 10/400
Galleries: Abstract, Black and White
Date Uploaded: Mar 2, 2003

Taken "underneath" the Linn Cove Viaduct outside of Boone, NC. The weather was a lovely foggy gray, thus the black and white. I do have shots from the "top", but this seemed to have the most punch. Will definitely reshoot with blue sky/sunset/sunrise, etc this summer!

WOW! This is just awesome, should have ribboned IMO, fantastic subject for B&W! The fog is amazing! Great shot!

Wow, is that a strong shot. I need to learn how to impart this kind of emotion and mood to inanimate objects. :)

I love the overbearing vibe of this shot - a real sense of scale and robust construction, as well as a powerful contrast with nature.

One small point would be the slight tilt off vertical of the central supporting column. I can't tell if it's the shape or skewed, so it looks slightly distracting.

CRITIQUE CLUB

Challenge: Meets the challenge with the line leading to the fog, but the fog might not be a strong enough focal point.

Technique: Wonderful. I love your angle on this! It truly is gorgeous. Your perspective from underneith the bridge is interesting,and I really like the black and white finish.

Overall: A wonderful photo! Just needed a stronger focal point.

The J curve is interesting but I think there's too much bridge! A vertical take might have been in the offering.

Clearly one of the best photos submitted.

WOW! What a great bridge shot this would make! ;-P

It represents the theme well and the B&W works well... it gives it a sense of mystery with the mist. Your croping is spot on!

Beautiful lines leading into the mist--well done

Interesting composition. Altough I keep saying that it is a dull image that leads to nothing it still works. The perspective of the curved concrete that bends away and frames the foliage-texture at the left looks better and better _the more time_ I spend looking at it.
I'd say that only the upper line of the conrete is the leading line, the rest is a framer and subject on its own. Very nice, not dull at all. :)
Exposure is good, detail in the shadows and no visible highlight blowouts.
The image looks oversharpend though, a lot of diagonal jaggies. I have seen it only on oversharpened images and D1x 200% blowups. :)

nice picture. seems to lead me off into the foggy unknown

A very strong shot. It draws me into the fog. Exposure and tone are very good. Did you try the shot higher up - meaning have the bridge edge and the overhag be moe dominant in the right side? I think that would have added the WOW.

Not leading to nowhere, like many in this challenge, but to the unknown. very oppressant image. 9

From the concrete, particular into the abstract, mystical. Appealing photograph

I've looked at this shot at least half a dozen times now, and it still has the same impact. The black and white is enormously effective, in conjunction with the slightly foggy atmosphere, in creating a very mysterious feel. Fits the challenge very well.

This going to seem critical but... if you could have gotten a little higher so that the bottom part of the bridge was below the bottom-right corner, and possible showing a little more of the bridge out in the distance this would be awesome! But still very good. 8.

Very good leading lines. The mist is wonderful too.

Greetings from the Linn Cove Viaduct :) Karma, is that you? :) This photo has a nice curved 'line' for sure. The only issue I have with it is that it's not 'leading' to anything. Instead, it IS the subject of the photograph rather than being supportive of a subject or point of interest... - setzler

My eyes are lead right to the foggy forrest. Maybe more of the forrest to look at would be better.
