Excellent contrast between old and new. The straight lines of the bridge and the earthy brick below really make for a great feeling of how man progresses and leaves the old behind to make room for the new. Your exposure is real good, you have enough light in the foreground to make out details, but not so much as to washout the background. The clouds in contrast to the darker stone work adds another nice element to the shot. Due to your vantage point there isn't much you can do about the pole with wires other then just crop the whole thing out. This would have left you just the two main poles and the brickwork below. The biggest concern if you had done that is that you may loose the before and after feel of the shot.

I really like how the bridge 'grows' from the old. You have presented a strong image.

I like this picture's perspective so it matches the challenge well, but seems to me that the artifacts are a little too noticeable. Maybe too much USM or just a nasty side effect from the squares.

A little blown out at the top but I like the angle.

Interesting crop, I like it. Works well dark to light diagonally.

Very beautiful angles. I love it. Good choice with the black and white. Works very well. I like how the sky is washed out. Good luck. 8

This is an incredibly strong perspective shot.. the black and white forces the viewer to look at the shapes and lines... great work :) = 10 - setzler

Beautiful. The composition of this is really effective. The buildings down below may seem a little bit dimly lit, but that actually works given the theme of the new structure towering over the ruins of the old one.

Nice photo! Good colors and focus. Some would complain of the "Rule of Thirds" violation but it doesn't bother me. In fact I think it is necessary for the background... Cub
