immovable as a positive, useful thing, not something to be fought :-)

I love this. The juxtaposition of the curve the models body makes and the verticals of the fence and buildings is just beautiful.

Not sure about the composiution, which is hanging onto the bridge. Very pale with the overexposed sky. It all makes it look a little stark, and highlights her white skin. Some additional colour would have been great

Nice exposure and cpomposition. It looks like a good way to lose a shoe.

Very striking photograph, and professionally executed, but doesn't look like she's actually trying to move anything...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Looks more like she is trying to hear something, than trying to move the bridge. Background is a little bit bright for me. But the picture still works very well. I like the composition and pose.

Fun looking pose. I like the dress she has on, it really compliments the background.

great composition, nice lines

nicely thought out. But the Model is very "blasé" to the point of cliché.
 09/12/2008 01:22:04 PM
really neat!

I like the shot.

Nicely done and the black dress is great in an overexposed shot. I presume this was on purpose?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/11/2008 03:18:16 PM
Sleak. Would have done well in DOF iv as well I am sure.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/11/2008 02:01:11 PM
very vogue
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the photo in general, even with the overexposed background, it works for the picture. The model however just looks like she's posing instead of actually trying to pull the bridge and move it. The facial expression shows no real exertion.

Nice professional-looking model shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is a very good shot. Would work brilliantly for a fashion shoot. As for this challenge, I don't really get the sense that she is trying to move the railing (more like she is just hanging on), but at least I do get the sense that it is quite immovable. Anyway, nice work - I'd love to see you do shots like this for a challenge that really called for this sort of glamour.

Lovely model shot - I could see this in a fashion magazine! Bumping this up!

Hmm. Does not appear model is trying to move an immovable object, but looks the she is trying not to fall. I will err on your behalf and say that this meets the challenge. The lines are interesting but the exposure and treatment are not my style, but I appreciate the effort that went into it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 02:12:41 PM
VERY snazzy! Some would kill for a figure like that ;-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice photo. I love the harsh shadows on the bridge because they compliment an otherwise soft photo. Great shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 12:37:31 PM
I like the diagonal lines; the colors and contrast are pretty flat
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 12:26:24 PM
She looks like she is trying very hard :P
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 12:06:08 PM
great picture (composition, color, tension...). My call for blue.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 10:53:39 AM
Not exactly what I wanted to see in this challenge, but a great image anyway. Congrats!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 10:47:18 AM
I don't get the impression that she's trying to move anything, but I like the pose and the backdrop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 09:19:26 AM
Nice clarity, but she really looks to be posing rather than moving, 5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 08:39:39 AM
I like the idea but it gives more of an impression of posing on a solid object rather than she is trying to move it. The lighting, focus and colours are great though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 07:33:28 AM
More sensation of movement would make it one of the best.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 04:56:50 AM
nice enough fashion style shot.. but not really coming across that she's trying to move the fence to me..
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 04:49:08 AM
Nice lines, nice DoF 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 03:47:46 AM
I like this. The lighting, pose, composition, and backround all come together nicely.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 02:07:04 AM
Great composition... although it certainly doesnt look like the model is trying to move the steel..
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Highlights are too blownout for my tastes
