Bridge Reflections

[seaslug]

Don River walking and car bridges combined give some interesting angles.

Well, since this is in the pick-it-to-pieces, I'll get picking... I can see the potential here seaslug, but this isn't quite working for me as is...

To elaborate: No. 1 issue is the light is a little harsh, which has resulted in blown-out skies. Secondly, the bridges overlap too much (IMO) and start to get a little lost into each other. My preference would also be to leave a little more space around the edges of the structures.

To summarise, I would try:
> Shooting during softer (overcast) light, or at a different time of day.
> Try to shoot from a higher perspective (if possible) to gain some seperation between the individual bridges.
> Frame the shot a little looser.

I like the concept though, and there's plenty of potential here. Even a strong crop off the bottom might bring it up a little better as an architectural detail shot?

There is a nice zigzag on this bridge's rails and I am a sucker for a reflection shot on water.
Overall it does look a bit on the busy side for my tastes. Agree with Beeb about the lighting too.
I was thinking about taking the bridge from further upriver so you have a leading line to the bridge and a peek to the beyond.

I agree with Beeb as regards the light, but maybe if you had captured the shot from between the 2 bridges it would offer better composition.

Could even be quite an interesting shot taken at night with the street light on shining down between the two bridges, just a thought.

I'll have another crack at that one sometime!

For me, the idea is good but don't know where to start or end in the pic.
