 This was a straightforward shot taken from the bank of the Central Park lake on the day when Christo opened his Gates exhibit. I was happy to get a resonably clear, people free photo with hundreds of thousands of folks everywhere. It was a great New York day.

This needed straightening and cropping at the left (the whole support piece), but you truly captured the sense of "curve"

Nice effect with the perspective changing. But it should be angled more if the photographer was trying to get strong diagnals, or angled less. This in between.

In this shot, I find the branches on the left to be a bit intrusive. The sky seems a bit blown out in the centre. Good detail and colours.

dof should be larger, you need the whole bridge to be in focus here.

Love the angle of this shot. I know those flags are part of the scenery, but they are somewhat distracting to the eye. I love how you can see a touch of the dead leaves on the left, along with the frozen water though. Nice shot.

That's the Christo thing in orange, isn't it? I love how you showed the delicate detail in the bridgework.

a nice composition of a bridge in my favorite park ...or is it "The park" the only flaw is that its a bit out of focus

well done. The back of a person in upper left is a wee bit distracting. But nicely done!
