Very nice indeed! I love the reflection, and the lighting that allowed it. You captured the textures well. Great angle and composition. The graininess around the neck works well. 8

Another shot where I had to focus quite closely to figure out what it was -- a violin or similar stringed instrument, si? Because of that, I'm not fond of the image and it didn't strongly evoke 'sound' for me, although it is on topic.

This is the best shot of an instrument I've seen so far. The reflection is great, the lighting works well, and the focus is right where it needs to be. Congratulations. 10.

A Comment From The Critique Club

Hi Brian!

First of all, congratulations on your ribbon, it is well deserved, you submitted a spectaculare photo to the challenge. It'll be a pleasure to write a review, but I'm not sure how much I can suggest for improvements ... but I know that I'm tempted to go out and buy a ticket to San Francisco and finally see this bridge with my own eyes!

Your photo has a very dreamy/mystical feel to it because of the fog. This is enhanced by your choice of b&w and the nice use of negative space in the left of the picture. I like how the top of the bridge and the far end of the bridge simply melt into the fog, but the front is very clearly visible, and you can see all those 'little' cars.

Your photo is nice and crisp where the bridge isn't obscured by the fog, and you achieved a nice tonal range. The frame very nicely complements the picture.

The photo obviously meets the challenge. I hope it has a place on your wall somewhere because it deserves it. Keep up your wonderful work, I checked your portfolio and you have some incredible shots in there :)

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about this review.

Franziska.
