This is one of my favorite places in Vermont - the Woodstock covered bridge. It was a wonderfully warm and sunny day for early April. We were in Woodstock in the middle of the afternoon so the light was a bit harsh, but the shadows were good here.

A quick dose of tonemapping with Photomatix Pro 3 and simple desaturation.
Suggestions for improvements?

I love the shadows and patterns that you have captured in this image.

Great patterns and leading lines. Cropping the top and perhaps a little bit from the bottom would strengthen the patterns and lines even more.

I really like the patterns here. The reflected light on to the ceiling of the bridge is really wonderful.

I like everything about this photograph...the lines, geometric shapes, the rich tones of the wood, and the composition are all very good.

I like your angle for the shot and the lines that creates, particularly the echoed sunlight on the floor of the bridge.

I LOVE these types of bridges. We don't have any in Texas I don't think. I really love that bright light at the end of the tunnel too. This is an awesome photo.

Very cool shot! I love covered bridges and you did well with the angle and the light in this shot. Well done on shadow detail as well! The only thing I would suggest is to crop just above the arch but you probably wanted to leave the name plate in the shot, works well but I would prefer getting rid of the corner of the sky at the expense of the name plate. Nicely done all around, added to favs!

The lines are the bomb - excellent perspective.

So many interesting lines here. I like the sun trying to blaze through the "latticed" side. A perfect subject for black and white. And if you're looking for suggestions, about the only complaint I have is the harsh lighting, but you've addressed that. And you've done a good job of minimizing it. Not much else you could do. Gives you an excuse to go back to a favorite spot and reshoot at another time of the day. :)
