Out in the country near where I grew up. The bridges used to be very common, but many are being rebuilt to be stronger, though they are still used. You can almost always find them near a barn or cow pasture. (It stunk, bad, btw)

Resized, added a touch of saturation (just a little), low levels of NEATIMAGE and added a frame. Looks jaggy, but it IS in focus, I promise; I think this may be a software issue, we are working on it.

A visit from the Critique Club ;)

I like this image, but I think the emphasis here is on the building more than the bridge. I think you should make it stand out more. Different angle and point of view maybe? Even different lighting to strengthen the texture.

I'm not sure if you oversharpened this photo but I can see some jaggies in diagonal lines. I'm neutral on the colors they don't seem to be oversaturated but they have enough contrast to balance this photo out. Too bad about the shadows on the bridge.

I like how the photo displays the age of this bridge. And a nice sleek frame. A good contender but I think you could improve on this by using a different angle.

Deep, rich colors - almost like a postcard. The area under the bridge is very dark, making the bridge almost non-apparent since I really can't see anything under it. Also, IMO, there may be a little too much unnecessary space included at the top of the piocture - I think this might look better to me in a more panoramic shape.

Very nice country pastoral scene

The barn is in focus and gets the attention here. Did you mean for that to happen? The bridge itself is out of focus. Try to find (or wait for) more interesting light.

Really like your bridge over this creek/river. My eyes travel from this plank bridge to the barn, to the sky and all the way back to the bridge. Great colors, like the shadows of the trees, nice job.

beautiful postcard.

I really like this shot but it looks like the barn is the main subject and not the bridge. Have to subtract a few points for that.

Unfortunately the barn and the hill steal this photo away from the bridge. Also, the shadows cast over the bridge make it hard to identify. So, I'd say the photo is kind of off topic, but it is a very nice photo. I like your border - it's a good proportion to the size of the image.

A very well-composed image. I love the shadow of the trees across the bridge too. The only thing that spoils it for me is the wire fence.

I like the way in which you shot this picture it was done very nicely. Good work

Nice composition & range of colors. Like the parallel leading line of the hill.
There are a lot of diagonal jaggies, probably caused by the resample routine or by oversharpening.

Awesome landscape... nice shot
