Whoa. This is kinda creepy. I was looking for a picture of the golden gate bridge since I'm vacationing in San Francisco, and instead found a picture of a local landmark! I had no idea anyone from Midland had ever participated on this site.

Greetings from the Critique Club };-)

Initial thoughts
Interesting composition and bridge,definitely meets the challenge, a touch off center.

Composition/ Content
Very nice capture of a highly unusual subject. I looked at this quite a while during voting trying to figure out exactly what the story was with this bridge. Never did figure it really. A good eye to find this. B & W works well but I would like to see what this "Tridge" looks like against a blue sky.

Technical
Focus seems good and contrast is excellent for the difference in light and shadow you have here. The background seems a bit busy but is beyond your control. The shot is just barely set up to the right a little. You may have been able to control this when cropping, but for this shot, it is pretty important. Processing seems good.

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 just little to finish even higher than it did. Good job, and keep up the good work.


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

I like how the photo is symetrical. The black and white is a nice effect.

Seems a little overexposed (is that water or ice or snow below the bridges). But, the lines and framing are very nice.

excellent composition.

I love the symmetry of this bridge/tridge. Your title is witty also. This is one of the few photo's this week worthy of printing - well done.

Enter your comment here, and then cast your vote...Very neat shot. It appears out of focus. Could be my computer image though. Like the framing. Where is this bridge?
03/11/2003 10:05:03 AM
fun and well done.
03/10/2003 09:12:49 PM
Wow! I've never seen anything like this before! What a photograph. It's so crisp and clear, the grain of the wood even shows through at the top spans. There's a nice balance of Grays and Whites too. Great shot.

This is a really neat interesting shot. I like how all of the lines come together in the center of the shot. Very interesting. Good luck with the challenge!

I like the pattern which is created by the symetrical lines. Very well seen, and wonderfully executed; one of the best this week. A 10!

good photo, i like the idea.ive never seen one of these before, i really like the symetrical look.

Its a great peice of architecture, but the photo is not 'spot on' with the symetry. Try it a bit to the right. Also, the very bright sky and snow might have been beter at a differnt tine of day.
