This is a challenge just choosing the right shot to enter. I know this wont stand out like some of the bridges do around the world but this is from where I live so I hope I did it justice.

Hi Tracy,

This comment is part of my participation in the DPC Critique Club. This is an effective use of contrasting color to make the subject stand out from the background (and in this case, the foreground as well). The bridge is an interesting design and seems to be lacking a bottom. Makes me wonder what it might have been used for in the past. You've found a lovely setting that really reflects your location well. The river and foreground elements at the lower right help to give context and further set the bridge apart from the background. However, the subject itself is only a small portion of the image and the expansive amount of foliage tends to overpower all the other picture elements, even though the foreground left tends to a brighter shade of green. For me, nature shots with lots of green are particularly difficult, especially with small leaves being predominant. All that aside, the color contrast works well to bring attention to the subject.

Nice find. Would have liked to see more emphasis on the bridge though. Maybe a different angle? JMO :)

The rusty bridge stands out well against the foliage.
