I Am My Work -- the Thorn that Weeps, & Holds the Sky Entire...

Bear? I don't recognise the profile, but the title looks like you. Anyway, Bear or not, I'm giving this a 7 for lateral thinking & for a finely-judged DOF.

This is great. I love the idea & title, and I love the wild crop at the top. It would be easy to underestimate this image because of the light-hearted approach, but it is also a really good photograph. You must know your model pretty well. 7.
Back for second opinion ... what was I thinking? This is better than 7. It's the most joie-de-vivre portrait in the challenge. Bump right up to 9.

A dramatic, Wagnerian sort of bridge image. It's a very good composition from a well-chosen point-of-view, and the lighting is marvellous. There are no distractions or flaws, and everything works in harmony. Given the Basic Editing constraints, this is a superb achievement. 9

Malgrate, Italy

Comment:
A beautiful composition and a very well chosen moment. It's a fine example of how to capture the character of a bridge without needing to show us the whole thing. The Devil is in the Details. An instructive and intelligent photograph. 9

I gave it a 3, my lowest score. So you have a right to know why. First, I don't know what it is. It looks like an abandoned construction site. Second, who's George? Maybe you meant Waldo, but I can't find the little bugger. And third, it's noisy and harsh. I'm sorry to rate it so low..if I've missed the point, feel free to tell me what it was.

Good composition that elevates the interest. It's probably just another bridge seen from a more conventional viewpoint. Nice lighting and a competent photograph, too. But the best thing you did was to stand right there. 8

Path of Light...

Really good time exposure. Great composition & tonal range. Even if this were an Advanced Editing challenge, I wouldn't change a thing about this image. Well done. 8

Get away

Comment:
Very good idea, effectively executed. I nearly overlooked it, because it's so pretty, but this is also a fine composition and a skilful photograph. But it's your original idea that really makes it so good. 8

Angles of Ascent

Comment:
This is a very beautiful, graceful image of a bridge. You have made it look like a cathedral; not just with the obvious arch motif, but also the repeating verticals of the foreground and even the ecclesiastical feel of the light. Well done. 8

Across the Wetlands

Comment:
I like the illusion of a rail bridge. Great use of the light; shot at exactly the right moment. Harmonious composition and subtle processing (if any). 8.

PS. I see it's been validated ... someone thought you'd spot-edited a train out?
