The Smithfield Street Bridge

Great color effects. I'm not sure if I'd like it better with still water/clearer reflections or this way, but if it were convenient I'd reshoot it myself if possible. I really like everything else about it.

I find the tree to the left of the mirror a little distracting; I'd have tried cropping a little from the left and bottom. I like pretty much everything else about it -- maybe tipping the mirror down a touch would make the rows of trees more parallel (I don't know if it would look better or not, but it would be nice to see).

Your shot would have been ruined if they'd installed these pigeon repellants there:

After Curfew

Thanks for all your comments. I think hbunch has my interpretation most correct -- this is a "negative" space in the societal as well as photographic context. Those tetherballs are surrounded by a space which should be filled with kids -- since I shot it right in the middle of the school day it's amazing I got a shot with no one in it except someone way off in the distant trees. I darkened the overall look to make it more depressing-looking; maybe a brightly-lit daytime scene with no kids would be better? You can link to the unaltered frame at:

Cloudy Bridge

Comment:
A less hazy day would make this outstanding, but I really like how the bridge towers line up perfectly with the cloud layer. If there were only two pickets on that gate it would mimic the structure of the bridge even better.

I wish there was more differentiation between foreground and background, either in tonal values or focus or both.
