The Hidden Bridge
by cardmaverick

Not sure about the soft focus/post processing (?) on this one, as it contains a person - otherwise, I think it would be much more effectively pulled off. I do like the composition, and the setting is lovely; my only suggestion would be to perhaps warm the colours a tad, as warmer colours do tend to look nicer with a soft focus.

Bridge over troubled waters

Beautiful... the silky smoothness of the water compliments the crisp lines of the bridge very nicely, and the border really suits this picture. I love the faint blue tones and the deep shadows - the exposure is perfect with no blown out highlights and just the right amount of contrast.

Very clear and pretty! The colours are fantastic, and I like how the boats and the bridge are little more than silhouettes. I would love to see a closer zoom of this, however, maybe cropping out the leftmost boats that are cut off on the edge? I cannot help but feel that there's no real main focus. That said, this is still a gorgeous picture that is great to look at as a whole even if no particular part of it draws the eye more than any other. The focus is great, the light level/exposure is perfect, and the scene is just beautiful. Great job!

When They Were Made of Steel

These colours feel just a tad cool to me, probably because of the blue-green hue of the snow. I assume this is because that bit was in shadow? Regardless, the sunny highlight on the grass bits and the nice dashes of golden colour shining through the steel looks lovely, and the pastels of the sky work nicely in contrast to the greys of metal and concrete. I would probably like this a bit more if the right side were cropped so that the building (?) did not occupy a small bit of the edge, but it is still a strong image. Nice work.

Underneath

I like the strong lines of the top half of this photograph, but I find the rocks to be.. a bit distracting, especially where the light is shining through on the left side. I think this could have been improved by leaving less of the rock visible - i.e. by having the bottom of the bridge take up 3/4 of the photo instead of half, and by cropping to leave out the highlighted stones. Still, this has a lot of potential with the strong lines and nicely exposed shadows/highlights of the bridge. Good effort!

Beautiful. I love how the deep shadows add such a large amount of contrast without the whites being blown out - this is a well balanced and very appealing image. The details are fantastic. Excellent work.

This is lovely - the exposure is perfect, and this has a wonderful, sentimental feel about it. The softness that I assume is processing does work for this particular picture very well, and the sepia tones are right on. Lovely work!

The colours here are decent, and the focus is good. The composition is interesting with the various lines sort of coming to a point on the right near the vertical center. The only thing I would love to see different would be if the sky were not cloudy/washed out - blue sky peeking through would really have made this. Still, an appealing image if a little lacking in vibrancy.

Jack the Rippers Favorite Bridge

Very nice. The overwhelming brown tones drown out a little of the detail in this, but I think, given the title, the mood the colours set works for the theme/feel of the photograph. Very dark and a little eerie - nice job.

Lonely Night

I like the vividness of the colours, but for me this doesn't have much of a central focus - the out of focus trees (?) near the middle of the photograph draw the eye and detract from the overall effect. I would love to see this with the bridge being more of a central structure. Overall, however, this looks nice.
