Greetings from the Critique Club };-)

Initial thoughts
Beautiful composition, definitely meets the challenge, nice color.

Composition/ Content
I really enjoyed this shot but I'm a sucker for framing anyway. A great eye as you've shown many times in the past to capture this one. I like the color as it really adds to the mistiness of the shot. The only thing I might have changed here is to crop off a bit more from the left. I think that the repetition of the bridge columns takes focus away from the framed bridge which should be your focal point. I would crop it right down the middle of those columns.

Technical
Very nice focus under difficult conditions. Your contrast is right on, once again under tough exposure.

My Opinion On The Photo
I originally scored this shot a seven. I think that it meets the challenge well but could have been improved a little to finish even higher than it did. Great job, and keep up the good work.


I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

Extremely interesting composition. Great job!

Taking a shot of a bridge from underneath that same bridge - not something that can usually be done easily. The view and framing are good, but the suspension span seems a bit either OOF or washed out, I can't really tell which.

Great angles and framing.

Difficult exposure conditions. Not badly done, but could stand to fixed somehow. If it was me I'd have concentrated my efforts on the bigger bridge in the background and got out from under this one to make the exposure game a fair one.

Enter your comment here, and then cast your vote...Under, over, and framed! Nice gray tone. Neat effect. Nice shot. I like this shot a lot.

Nice tones and composition. An inch or two cropped off the bottom might improve the composition a bit, I really like the top half of the photo.

cool framing.

Hmm. A bit different view. Nice shot looking out at the larger part of the bridge.

Nice framing, good use of B&W
03/10/2003 06:49:44 PM

I like your composition, however the image seems a little bit dark.

Wow, a bridge as a frame for itself - good eye to catch this highly interesting perspective! The cropping is well done, I like the slightly color tone too. Or is it just B&W and my eyes are fooling ;-)? Could be a great location for model photography too. Good luck for the challenge, this is one of my favorites!
03/10/2003 02:33:48 PM
i like the angle that you took this phot from..
03/10/2003 02:21:13 PM
nice setup picture looks good.
03/10/2003 02:18:31 PM
Excellent use of framing technique, great composition.
Nice toning
03/10/2003 02:18:21 PM
good photo, i like how the bridge goes completly horizontal across the pic..
03/10/2003 12:15:04 PM
This is the most unique perspective I've seen. The framing of the suspension part of the bridge by the underneath of it farther back is very well done! I like your tone and contrast used.

I really like the point of view you have used in this shot. You have taken to different pictures of this bridge in one photograph. Very creative thinking. This is a great perspective shot. Clever how you have framed your subject with itself. Nice work! Good luck in the challenge. I'm sure this will do well.

Nice shot. Like the contrast of the clean lines of the main supports and the messiness underneath in the foreground. Good composition too - one of the few so far that looks like some real thought has gone into it
