Mildura Bridge (Sorry!)

[Gaz]

Thought I had posted this recently but went looking and couldn't find it. (Losing the plot maybe?)



Cleaned the offensive graffiti off before posting

Hey that looks like a really good photo of the Mildura Bridge. You do have another thread thats title the same but definitely not a bridge.

Nice lines in this Gaz.

Maybe it could benefit from a tighter composition?

Here's my effort. Reduced the amount of sky on the RHS till roughly the same width as the base of the pylon on left for balance, then cropped a bit off the top to simplify the image and hopefully accentuate the lines and angles of the image.

Removed the colour cast just to see what it looks like then did a b&w version with a slight copper tone as I think this image suits.

One point to consider with b&w is 'how important is colour to the scene'. In this case, not at all really so worth having a look at b&w.

Just thinking out loud here Gaz.

Hmmm...posted the colour one first and certainly didn't want to have such a large space between the two. Oh well, life goes on.

I like images with strong lines like this. Nice light on the underside of it too.

Thanks for the compliment Pete, glad you liked it...appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time Mick, the tighter composition and B&W certainly makes for a stronger image...like you say, I should consider B&W more often.
I played around with the composition for a little while but obviously didn't go that far, it's always good to get an opinion from a fresh set of eyes.(Start to go cross-eyed looking at the same image for too long sometimes)
I'll be honest...never noticed the colour cast until you pointed it out (That cross-eyed syndrome again)
...thanks for your help.

Thanks Gabby, it's worth getting up early for that warming light, the sunrise didn't produce much and this was result of looking for something else to take home for my efforts.



PS for Loose Cannon,

There is some 'Code' showing EXIF data in between pics which shows up when you swipe your mouse over. Have seen it before on some of your posts...a good idea if the Font was a different colour.

Cheers

Ah, I see that now. Wonder where that came from?

Not sure where it came from, but if it can be refined would make adding 'EXIF Data' a lot easier
