*Hello from Sid and the Critique club*

An interesting image that contributes well to the open challenge.

Well, congratulations for a very impressive maiden entry and your high placing which was well justified. It is often difficult to do something different with a landmark of such popularity but your long exposure has done just that, you have motion blur in the water and softness in the sky that adds appeal to the image. The lighting is good with good detail throughout, the sun and its halo are nicely subdued adding a subtle element.

Contrary to the opinion of sacredspirit I feel I have a duty to attempt to add my own honest opinion, I feel the foreground fence is a barrier to the rest of the image, I would prefer it if you had eliminated it and gone closer to the water and panned further to the left bringing the right hand end of the bridge closer to the edge enabling you to reveal more of the fort. A title is a necessary part of the image in that it helps your viewer understand more of your motivation and/or emotion at the time of creating the image.

Apologies for the delay. Thanks for your submission, Sid

Not bad for my first ever DP Challenge submission! Thank you all for the comments and votes! Seeing as I don't typically do landscapes, I'll take the 20th spot! :)

Seems a bit to dark for my taste.

Cool atmosphere the cloudy moonlight has created here. Nicely done, but I wonder if you could have gotten closer to the water to include less of the land in the foreground?

While not essential, do try to put in a title of some kind - even "Untitled". It shows attention to detail and a respect for both your own work and the attention of the voters. Lovely shot.

Get back in your cage. Geez, what an extraordinary shot. There is absolutely nobody in this world that could critique this shot, it has simply been done to perfection. My instincts tell me that you have some experience with this bridge, and that this shot was not luck in any way. Of course, I'm wrong a great deal of my time, but if you got this in luck, which I know is not the case, you need to buy some lottery tickets. LOL. I'm bumping this up to my top choice in the challenge, and as I have already said, back to the cage, your making us all look bad. LOL. Love it, thank you. Good luck.
