Easily on of my favorite photos to shot in a long time. It was a fun take on the challenge, since I do not have any interesting bridges within a couple thousand miles. So, I was being creative and thinking outside the box.

Thanks for all the comments. I shot this in extremely low light and had to lighten it on the post processing that made it hard to avoid artifacting.

right on. i dig it. the area around the child's head feels a bit cluttered (i'd like some negative space there to let my eye in more comfortably). also, the character feels a bit distant (sometimes this is a good thing, but in this case it looks like you just should have walked closer to take the picture or zoomed more)

Your title wasn't even necessary. . . the image conveys the idea beautifully. My first thought when seeing this was, "my secret bridge (garden)!" Well done and the very, very best of luck. I hope it does well but it is up against some more traditional shots. One of my favorites. P. S. The only thing missing is a reed of grass in the young man's mouth!!!

Very nice capture and mood. I like the way you toned down the background to isolate the boy on the bridge. A good example of keeping the background from being distracting. Good job 7

Change the vegetation, the bridge, and the kid - you captured a bridge to a childhood memory for each of us. Just enough color on the kid's outfit to hold interest. Wonderful shot.

Excellent take on the challenge. The boy really brings home the thought. Where's his fishing pole? Keep up the good work.

Very interesting... half desaturation is nice too... just bit dont like colors of sky.

The desaturation to bring out the blue and red make this picture work.

Seems a little hazy or washed out. Curves or contrast? Very nice image though!! 7

The greenish spots on the boy are distracting, but given limited editing rules I understand :-)

I like this one a lot! That boy seems to be wondering 'bout something.
Looks like the whole photo has been desaturated, but the boy!
nice one! 8
