I like this picture. Some think it says absolutely nothing. Your opinion?
Topic was bridges. I call this one "Wavy Bridge".

I like the composition - particularly the bridge itself, which as presented is very interesting visually . Overall the image (background) is a little busy - perhaps unavoidable in that location. Additionally, the (mid-day?) lighting is a little harsh - early morning or late evening may have achieved better results. Nice concept!

I like the bridge itself. I think the picture is a bit too busy. I would have chosen perhaps a shallow, almost parallel angle to the bridge at a closer range. Or shooting from a shallow angle through one of the "legs" of the railing. You wouldn't lose the curves and it might make way for a clear sky to emphasize the focus which is the bridge. Great subject!!!

Always looking for details. Is this really a bridge :?:

Looks to me like a pathway with an embankment on either side. The embankments are topped by black wavy railings. Maybe the railing is decorative, maybe to keep children out of the garden.

Good photo, but I would consider changing the title.

It might be good to include whatever it is the bridge is spanning in your photo, if it truly is a bridge.
