I never expected such a high score for this shot and I think, this one doesn't deserve it. But nevertheless thank you very much for your highly interesting comments. A lot of them are completely oppositional. Some of you like the colored umbrella, others would like the shot better without it. My first choice for this challenge was this shot: //www.200bar.de/nds/show_pic.php?id=111 . Unfortunately I didn't achieve the desired effect without without spot editing. So I had to submit this IMO a little poor photo...
Very interesting shot. Great job at creating a point of interest with the umbrella. It\'s a great starting point to lead the eyes down the lines to the bridge. Good job. Jacko. 9
This is an interesting photo, but I find myself wondering what the role of the umbrella is. I think this image would be a very strong black and white without the umbrella as well... the umbrella offers a nice touch of color to the monochrome scene, but I simply can't determine what meaning it has or what role it plays in the shot... good work, none-the-less :) - setzler
Brilliant use of colour! Love the combination of greens and blues, with an almost B&W background. Nice use of the tracks and the curve in the bridge. Touch of fall colours in the leaves adds that little extra depth to the photo. You've done yourself proud. Good luck in the challenge!
Got to be honest with you, I think you had a great enough photo without the umbrella. I like the way you caught the moss on the wood in front of your camera and the way the rails lead right down under the bridge is great. Was there any way of showing slightly more of the bridge?
Your photo is nice and clear, it's crisp, sharp, and in focus, but that umbrella really bothers me.
Great idea to include an object that is totally alien to its surroundings. The first thing you look at is the bridge on the top and it gives a B&W expectation. What a shock it is when you go down and are confronted by a big blue umbrella!
Great photo!
