Bridge in Alaska

[troyer16]

Looking for another critique every one. I was going through photos of my trip to Alaska last summer and i've learned so much since but would still like feedback. Thanks

any opinions on it?

I don't know what to look at - there is nothing to rest the eye on.

The eye just keeps bouncing from building to bridge to building to people, back to another building.

Since I'm a structural engineer by profession, I finally settled on the bridge.;):D

Too cluttered for me, also seems a little overexposed? Might consider shifting the black point for better contrast.

I agree. The bridge is too 'busy' to focus on one subject. Also the roof on camera left is hot. At least on my monitor here. I keep looking back that way.

The perspective is too straight on. I think that creates confusion about the intended subject of the image. If you could have taken it from an angle so that the eye follows the line of the bridge it would have helped identify the bridge as the subject.

Thanks all!

I don't think its a bad shot but its more of a keepsake shot than a too be shared shot.
It has more meaning to you than it does to someone who wasn't there.
There is nothing wrong with that kind of shot really and the vast majority of shots are likely that kind.

For that reason I'm not going to get into the technical details because as a keepsake they don't really matter that much.
Unless you really want to hear it.
