Sad Bridge

Greetings from the Critique Club

Overall, good technicals. The shot is well exposed, sharp and has good contrast. Your composition could be good but it lacks that something extra. While you don't need to have a subject it does help and here your composition is begging for one. A vanishing point, a figure cast in shadow down the road or something. Instead there is just a quasi end to things but not really as the bridge sweeps further away from view so I'm left wondering what exactly is the point of the angle.

Your title suggest that maybe you want to make this more about the bridge rather than the street but here you only used the bridge as a guide. Perhaps a wider angle would be the ticket. It would give you that subject and maintain the flow of the image.

Looking at some of the comments you've received I disagree that this didn't meet the challenge. It's a street scene and despite not having people in it does contain human elements, which is all that is needed for such a challenge. In fact it's better to hint at something than to be obvious about it but for these challenges it's usually best to go with the latter if you want to score better.

That's pretty much it. Keep in mind that this is just my opinion.

They are? I better start looking. :P I love the colors although in that lower right corner the color looks a little odd to me.

You know I've seen like 5 of these shots already. Just kidding. :P I like it. I think I might be tempted to bring out the background texture some more.

The fluidity of color in this shot is quite appealing. The composition and lighting perfect as is the border. Good luck!
