West Windsor Covered Bridge B/W
by bassbone

Comment:
This is one of the best covered bridge shots I've seen. I've been working on photographing the ones in Rutland County for years and have always had trouble balancing the light inside & outside. Don't know why I never thought of this approach; putting the sun behind the front like that, with it still showing through the boards is brilliant. It adds character to the shot and balances the light while leaving great shadows and details in the interior.

I love the color scheme used here - very warm, makes it feel exactly like the title. Very well done, 10.

Last Light

I love the muted colors of the landscape with the last hint of saturating in the sky. Excellent dynamic between the soft water and the sharp rocks and trees. Exposure looks spot on - just a great shot overall. 10

Horse Shoe Crab Beach

Both the crab and the building are dead center in the frame, and you cut off the crab's tail. A more dynamic composition would have earned you more points.

Basking in All Her Glory

I love IR photography and this shot has some especially strong elements; the glory of the central tree, the excellent shadow beneath it, the dramatic sky. However, my one complaint is that the central tree really blends into the background trees in several places. Tricky to avoid I'm sure, and still a great shot. 8

This Is My City

More city and less empty sky would have made this a stronger photo.

Flight Path

Interesting capture of the landing - looks like it's headed for disaster, but I trust that the runway is really there! A suggestion: when shooting propeller planes, fast shutter speeds freeze the prop (such as happened here), which leaves it looking odd. A slower shutter speed and a bit of panning adds a sense of motion to the background and keeps the prop arc, which can be pretty cool.

Painted

Lovely capture of the paint. However, the burning around the perimeter is a bit excessive.
