CRITIQUE CLUB REVIEW
I'm amazed that they let trucks that big on the bridge. It looks old and rickety. It must be well reinforced.
This picture is an interesting location. What could we do to make it better?
Point the camera a little more to the right, or even actually move physically to teh right (if there's a place to ) to get the sign in the upper left third corner of the frame (do a search on Google for "Rule of Thirds" for more information). As it is, it's almost centered but not enough for it to look like you made a strong compositional choice. Also the right edge of the bridge is to close to the edge of the frame.
Try having used your fill flash to bring the lighting on the sign up to match the rest of the scene. Roadsigns are made to flouresce when lights hit them, and a fill flash can be just the thing to have made this sign pop. Also, even tho it's an interesting sign with an interesting backdrop, since there's not a ton of color in the background it might have been a nice contrast to have a more colorful or more brightly lit sign.
Time of day could also have played a major role in the improvement of this picture. A sunset, sunrise or lower more angular lighting would be nice. Usually when the sun is high in the sky is the most boring time to shoot. Interesting clouds in the sky are also good to watch for. |

Nice photo - although I'm surprised by the sign. Most (if not all) of the types of truck shown would weigh more than 3T unladen - especially the semi which probably weighs 8-10T. Anyway, back to the photo... Nice composition and focus is pretty good (perhaps just a little blury on the bridge). Colours are good and the sign is well positioned to grab my attention. Good work. |
This bridge is down an old wash board dirt road. I'm guessing they don't want trucks on it at all. I just wonder what the weight limits were under the stickers on the sign. |

| That looks sorta like a bridge I know! I like the colour of the sky, but the lower right corner of the image is a bit dark, and draws the viewers eyes there unneccesarily. jgillard6 |

| Who makes up these signs? Nice photo. Where in the world did you come across it? The composition is nice, like the rust on the railing and the girders. |

| Very good. Maybe just a hair dark but really good photo. Good composition with really good execution. Only fault I can find, like I said, is maybe just a little dark, especially under the bridge and at the vry end of the bridge. If you're going to let me see under there I want to see under there. But it really doesn't hurt the photo that much. Still an 8. |

| too bad everything is nicely exposed except the sign. using your flash might have improved that. |
