 I'm not sure what I was thinking when I submitted this in the "Bridge" challenge. I think I have learned my lesson!

This shot is of a popular local attraction - an old stone mill. It's soo popular that the river that powers it was given the name, "Mill Creek".

Great photograph, however, if this weren't in the bridges category I would not recognize that there was a bridge in the photo. I'm still not 100% positive which is the bridge. Only going below avg because of the subject to category relevance. This maybe should have been entered in a different category.

Thougtful idea. Nice shot. How did you achieve your sepia look?

Great old mill. Is there a bridge there?

Use of sepia appropriate.

I'm not sure where the bridge is here, but I like very much the duotones of this picture. Also, think it could be improved by cropping out most of the sky. I like the angle of the shot very much and the DOF is very good.

I don't see a bridge - am I missing it?

Pretty picture.... is the challenge aspect a metaphore? (I don't see any "bridge" in the frame.) The bricks took the sepia well, but not so good for the wood siding.

Realy nice photo, but:
Where's the bridge? If the nice building is the metaphorical bridge, where's the New the Old is being briged with?

That's a beautiful building and a very interesting scene with the water cascading in that way, but for some reason I find the composition doesn't do much for me. I am wondering if the photograph is too long, perhaps if some was cropped from the bottom.

I love this! Wouldn't mind having this one on my wall! Seems just a tiny bit crooked, like you needed a tripod...still an awesome shot!

Thise trees to the right of frame could almost be out of a silver print - top marks for that. The woodwork on the building lets it down a little - too much light, I think, I get the sensation that you're losong detail because of it, and certainly texture. And i feel that the composition calls for something darker at the foot of the frame. nit-picking though.

Nice tones. I love the contrast of light and dark, here.
