I think it would make a better photo if there were a way to eliminate all the clutter in front.

I like the way the lines of the stairs leads your eyes through this photo.

Nice detail and lines. I like it even more when I drag it partially off my screen and eliminate the guy and hands on the right. JMO. :)

Nice clean image, maybe a little overlit at the top. I love the striped reflections on the chrome, very good.

Initial thoughts
Beautiful bridge, meets the challenge, a little too much water in foreground.

Composition/ Content
I really like this bridge a lot. That being said, I wish I could see it a little better. There is a bit too much water and not enough bridge. I don't know for sure if you have enough lens or there is a place to get close enough to it but a closer shot would be great. If not possible then you need to crop about half of the foreground water and make more of a panorama shot.

Technical
Focus seems good but the contrast seems like it could be turned up just a bit to make the bridge stand out against the sky more. A blue sky would be great but it is awfully hard to control the weather!

My Opinion On The Photo
I originally scored this shot a six which was a touch higher than most of the voters. I think that it meets the challenge well but could have been improved a little to finish even higher than it did. Good job, and keep up the good work.


I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

This image certainly fits the challenge this week. I also like the varioud lines that lead the eye to different parts of the image. With more engaging light, the photo would be far more interesting, I feel.
