Composition-Content

You found a lovely bridge with a lot of character, which makes a very interesting picture. I feel that the white building is slightly hich in the shot, perhaps cropping off abit of the water, then bringing the white building would bring more of a relaxed and peaceful feel to the shot. The house on the right adds dimension to the shot, but I wonder if the picture would have been nicer without it, I think that it isn't necessary in the shot, as the bridge and white building add enough interest. You have framed the picture very nicely with the trees.

Background

People mentioned the white sky, I am from England, I understand!! There really isn't much you can do about it within a time frame, but you have done well in cropping out much of the sky and filling it with the landscape.

My Opinion

Lovely shot, very interesting bridge. Perhaps a slightly smaller border would have been good and complemented the scene more. Good Luck in the next challenge.

I like these bridges. Note how the water isn't that interesting, yet it takes up so much of the frame. It does not serve the function of negative space well because it does not counterbalance the bridge or the house beyond; its just a void to me.

I like the quietness and "quaintness" of this shot. Very peaceful looking. I wish you had a blue sky this week, this would have been really nice contrasted with the green grass and greenish tints of the roofs.

Too bad that the sky is overcast/washed out as this is a lovely image with great clarity.

Very picturesque shot. I like the way the white building is framed by the trees too.
