Arch over the Tennessee

I think this photo has potential but there are a few things in my opinion that hold it back. I think if this shot was taken in morning or evening light it would have helped lessen the high dynamic range of this photo. Of course, getting to a scene during those times can be difficult. You may have also tried using a 2 or 4 stop split neutral density filter to help with the dynamic range. One other key thing is the horizon of this photo. It leans from left to right. That will kill a great shot. One last nit pick, if I may, is you may want to try a few different cropping ideas. For instance, crop out some of the blown out sky. Maybe even crop out a little of the shoreline on the right side of the photo.

Not to be all negative, I think you chose an excellent subject for this challenge and got a great reflection in the water. This creates a nice overall balance, a ying and yang if you will. You not only have the outline of the bridge and its reflection, but also all those nice �shapes� called triangles. Keep shooting, and good luck!

This just goes to show you don't need lots of equipment to get a fine result like this picture. Great use of DOF! Congrats on your first ribbon!

Nice shot. It has a cool perspective and I love the way the rounded corners on the staircase conflict with the re-ocurring theme of hard corners. Supurb exposure and outstanding composition! Just added this to my Favs. Thanks!
