Nice picture. Like the style and the use of curves in the bridge to good effect! Good depth and leading. Makes me wonder what I'll find at the end of the bridge. The bright end point could possibly have been used to more effect by having someone stand there, or another object to give a silhouette effect... Well done!

Focus seems just a bit soft for my taste. Having such a tiny area of subject to focus on though could be difficult. The angle and framing/cropping are good. You left enough space around the subject without crowding it. Definately a natural number. lighting conditions also appear to have been cooperating with you that day. good luck in the challenge.

the angle seems just a bit off (although that might be the construction). nice shot and use of b&w.

I'm a big fan of covered bridges,and I really like this composition. I'll borrow the idea on one of my future shots. Nicely done!

I like the balance and perspective of this shot. Taking the photo from on the ground was a very wise move. Good work.

The perspective and lines make up for the bullseye composition. Nice play of lines.

Very good capture of the massiveness of the bridge, even in 2D.

composition

this is a very well composed photo. the placement of the bucket in the perspective draws the viewers eyes towards your subject and eventually to the yellow wall, which is great. the perspective itself is wonderful, and when combined with the angle really bring out the yellow of the gloves and wall.

technical

you did a great job here as well, the yellows are right where they need to be, and the whole photo seems to have a yellow feel, so in that sense you succeeded. the photo is also very clear and isn't to dark or light in my opinion.

overall

i suspect that this photo didn't do as well as it did because the yellow theme may not be totally evident to some voters. also people tend to downgrade shots like this of women. i really like it though. i didn't vote on this set of photos but i would have most likely given it a 7 for its originality and technical strength

A delightfully quirky image. Here, the yellow acts as both a frame and adds details. Her expression is quirky as well. I'm not sure what to think or how to react to her or to this image, but I do find it engaging.
