bridge 04

Wow! It's hard to get a crystal clear reflection, but you definitely did it here! This photo makes me want to find this bridge and just sit there, reading a book! The colors are vibrant and very striking, and the whole piece has a very daydreamy quality to it, with the contrast of the bridge that brings a sense of suburban life to it. The water is just gorgeous and, as I mentioned earlier, the reflection is superb.

I do have a few concerns, though, with the first being the focus. My eye is drawn to the shadow under the bridge in a way...but I'm not sure if you were intending to have that as the focal point. I feel like you need to decide exactly where you want the viewer to be looking at, and then point more attention to it. My second suggestion is that you vary your shooting angle a bit. I find the little bits of grass poking up on the left hand side at the bottom of the shot to be distracting, and if you shifted a bit to the left and took the photo from a lower angle, I feel that it would not only fix the grass but also bring more attention to the beautiful reflection and create a more interesting view of the scene. The ropes coming off the bridge are a bit distracting as well, but if you don't know how/want to edit them out, it's not a major issue.

Overall, just fine-tune your work- make sure you know where you want to focus the energy in the photo, focus on little details, and try out some different angles. Keep up the good work!! =]
