The first thing that I see when I look at this picture is 1/3 of the image really not occupying very much. There is a lot of weighting on the right side and it makes the image look lopsided. It is a very pretty sunset shot with a bridge.. and sunset shots are only effective with a nice foreground and you achieved that here... I just dont see the relationship between the bridge and photojournalism. If you were deadset on using this particular bridge for whichever reason, I would suggest a different angle.. a little farther to the left would have greatly improved this shot. You miss out on a lot of the architecture of this bridge because it's got a compressed perspective. You would have also gotten better composition moving to the left a bit more because you'd be filling the frame a little bit more and your image would look more evenly spaced.
Regardless it's a nice attempt at a bridge/sunset picture! not bad at all!

Gorgeous! Love the orientation of the bridge to the framing, water and sunset.

nice sunset shot, not sure I like the placement of the bridge leading to the center of the photo and can't picture this on the cover of my newspaper, good photo though.

Beautiful sunset. Hope this is for a photography magazine. That's about the only way I can see it fitting the challenge. If that's the case it is a good job. PTL8 It's a great photo no matter what and it deservice a 9.

I really like this photo. I think the colour is great, and the angle and just everything... but I can't see the photojournalist shot....

nice composition.

I like the photo. I think you could use the title to improve the "newsworthiness" for most people by inventing a story like "Last Days for Old Bridge"

A sunset makes any pic look so much more beautiful

I like the soft orange glow of orange cast by the remaining sunlight. I could see this on the front page of a newspaper that has colored pictures! good job!

Maybe a Calendar. Not this challenge.

Sunsets happen every day. Newsworthy? See 3A for details :) - Inspzil

I really like how the sun is seen through the arch... a great angle... I suppose it does meets the challenge in some way... but there's no "impact of the moment" for me... (7)

This is a terrific photograph and should place very high in the voting. Whether it fits my definition of journalism is an open question. As a magazine photo it is very good indeed. Front page of a newspaper - no.

great picture, what has it do with photojournalism?
11/25/2002 10:49:00 AM
Nice pic.. but what does it have to do with the theme??
11/25/2002 05:15:00 AM
Too much jpeg artifacts around the edges of the objects, save it at a higher quality. This pic is 42kb where 150 is allowed. The artifacts are very disturbing and it ruins the fluent transition of colors.
I wonder what it would look like if it was shot from a position somewhat more to the left.

Nice picture, very beautiful, but doesn't really fit the challenge.
