Muddy colour is depressing in nature, so I guess you have something in that,but I can,t say I like it myself, maybe because the subject is water.,
Also the bottom third needs cropping, to bring forward the bridge. |

I really thought I posted on this earlier, perhaps I forgot to hit post....well anyway I didn't find this depressing. I thought old, weathered, forgotten, then I thought of my vacations to the lake when I was little and it made me smile at those forgotten memories. keep playing with this I think to the right people it evokes the emotion you were looking for. |

I've actually been working on the same kind of stuff. Trying to take my pictures and give them more feeling. This is what I came up with today:

it's so hard to convey a universal emotion in a photograph. Everyone has different memories. A bridge to one person who got engaged on a similar bridge will convey a positive emotion (hopefully) while someone who lost a love one to a car accident on a bridge the same photo would convey a very negitve emotion.
The best photographers moved people, but sometimes I wonder if they moved them in the direction they were trying to get them to go. That is why I'm a port major, I think faces convey so much more than bridges |

Just realized that pic would have been good for the "Wooden" challenge! Looks like I need to go out and find something else now! :/ |
