Nice story! The yellow makes you realize there is something going on behind the blossoms.

I think this one is a bit more balanced than the first one, maybe because the bridge is not so close to the center horizontally. The yellow really compliments the gray day and the tree in bloom adds alot to the picture!

I really like this one, not sure how it would have fared in the "Yellow" challenge, but to me it is very well done and beautiful!

I like this one a fair bit more than your challenge entry. The perspective seems to be corrected and it doesn't have that off-kilter look anymore. The blossoms are a nice touch.

I still think that grass looks jaundiced. Can you hit it with a masked layer of desaturate yellow? (obviously masking around the bridge)

Otherwise, looks good. Crummy sky, but I get those all the time here too. The only time the air is clear is when I have to be at work. Whee!

Nice bright vivid yellow, and an interesting subject - not very often you see bridges this colour!

However, even with that bright yellow bridge cutting across the middle of the shot, the lines and composition actually draw my eye to the tree on the right. If you look at the lines, the river bank and the bridge are almost 'pointing' at the tree (which itself is sitting on a thirds line)

Good post processing, brought out the contrast well, and made the grey sky look interesting.

I like the composition and the sky is very cool...I'm not sure what you'd need to do to make this better, I like it just the way it is...

Well, my worthy opponent beat me here, first thing I thought was "Wish the dominant yellow line was on the thirds", honestly! Also may TRY, not sure if it would help or not, is the crop out from the right side enough so that white guard rail is gone. May help a LITTLE.
