Congrats on the red, Phil. I love the way the grime in the bottle imparts interesting lights and textures.

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An interesting documentary style image from a different perspective

Its nice to see your informal up close capture of a significant landmark that is normally photographed from a distance. I like the way the foreground leads you over to the other shore represented by the distant buildings. I also like the inclusion of people with a mix of naturally curious tourists together with the practical need for the locals to use the bridge for their everyday needs. Its also interesting to see the people on the higher part of the bridge, presumably workers involved in the endless maintenance.

The mono processing suits the subject well, though I might have liked to see what it looks like in colour but the subject is more graphic especially against that bland featureless sky. What we wouldn't normally see from distant portrayals of the bridge are those significant fortifications which I assume are to deter suicide attempts which in itself is a sad reflection on society in itself.

All in all a pleasing result, thanks Sid

One of my ribbon picks. I like it, but even more when I scroll down a bit and lose the floaty lights above the sun's halo.
