Looks like a shot from the 30's or something. Great effect.

Is this actually a bridge? Looks more like a pier? Photo feels old. If that's what you were going for you have accomplished this. Because the structures look old and are falling down I feel that the old feel fits well. The sepia tone also adds a nice touch IMO. Good work! Good luck with the challenge!

Is that Brighton? Powerful image but I am not sure that everything is in focus.

A bit underexposed, but the subject is inherently interesting and I like the sepia tones to convey the feeling of history here.

The picture is a little muddy. If you had taken it on a day with a little more light, or opened up the aperture a little, this could hve been excellent.

Now that 'bridge' is in rough shape! The photo really appears grainy... doesn't really reach out and grab me.

Yeah! Another Brightonite in the midst! Great photo, not sure if I can call it a bridge though! The other problem is it seems to be tilted a bit to the left, though that could be the angle you shot at. What day did you take this?

COMPOSITION
Framing the shot with the "frame" really adds to the composition of this shot I think. It draws the viewer's attention and focuses it on the subject of the picture. It feels a little off to me, maybe if the camera perspective was a little more to the left. Inside the frame, the rolling hill makes for some nice motion.



TECHNIQUE
The focus seems a little grainy, but I think that may add to the shot (more on this later). The grays, which would normally make for a drab shot, really add to the effect of this shot, as well, I think. I'm thinking I see some noise in the sky area, I don't know what your shutter speed, etc was, so I can't suggest anything in that area, but if you haven't ever tried NEATIMAGE or other noise reduction filters, they can really clean it up.


OVERALL EFFECT
A bit more fog, and your subject would be hidden completely! When I saw this shot, I immediately thought of the book "Wuthering Heights." It just has that dismal, gloomy, somber, mysterious aire about it. Nice work.

Neat shot, it looks like a painting. Might have worked a bit better if Waldo wasn't so centered.
