The color balance could be tweaked to make it a little more red and less orange. :->

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone. I decided not to title this with a number as there are a couple of different numbers in there so I left it to the viewer to decide.

FIRST IMPRESSION: Good photograph, the number is clearly evident but nothing I would have though of on my own... great thinking!

CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.

COMPOSITION: Excellent composition. I love the way the vien leads the viewers eye in from the corner, through the tangle at center, and up to the "9" at upper right. I would have preferred a more interesting background but understand this was a natural setting and the backgroung was pretty much out of your control.

TECHNICAL: Good exposure and I like the shallow depth of field, especially given the simple background.

CONCLUSION: A solid entry that was worthy of its top 10 finish.

Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!

wow. i've never seen anything like this in person before. what a nice find. I love the arches and the texture in the brick. The angle is good to show the length of the bridge. my eyes move from the hill on the bridge to the front of the photo. while this is a good shot, I would also like to see this from a direct on side view to see those arches. good luck in the challenge.

Beautiful perspective and lines and shadows. More contrast would help this photo even more, I feel.

I think it needs a little more room in the top left of the picture (where the "swell" is). I feel like I am going to bump my head. :-) Great capture of the detail in the bridge, though, and bw works very well here, I think.

Good use of dof here. I like the composition also, rather than just doing a shot of the number item, there are leading lines and and another image supporting the vine. Good job. 8
