 The Trinity River bike trail passes under the Main street bridge coming out of downtown Fort Worth. Tried a little "painting with light" and used a flashlight on the path, tree and bench during this 30 second exposure.

Pre-challenge notes:
I'm gonna keep entering pics of this darn bridge until I get a high score with one! This one is a little more subdued than my other shots from the same session, but I really like the curves, especially the arch of the bridge structure across the top of the frame. No idea at all how it will do on DPC, but I've had some very positive feedback on it elsewhere.

Post-challenge notes:
Scored around what I'd hoped for. Without strong sundown colors, some people no doubt felt it did not convey evening. I think it did better than my outtake would have, though, and it was a bit different from the rest of the pack.


I'm pleased.

What a great shot, full of leading lines and curves. This really stood out to me, even from the thumbnail!

nice framing of your composition. It does feel very contemplative before I read your title.

It's a little hard to tell this is an evening shot.

The overall appearance of the photo is very appealing to me - it's just not saying 'Evening'.

Nice composition but maybe a little too dark.

the compsition is interesting. It invokes sadness rather than evening.
