I tried couple of slight different composition on this particular bridge shot and I'd like to hear everyone's opinion on it.
Thanks for looking!

no 6
the use of the buildings and sky as a back drop adds just that bit more to the image giveing it a bit more life

#6 because it doesn't give me a disoriented feeling that angled shots do. I'm not a big fan of odd angle shots either... I've only seen a few which 'work' for me. Another reason I enjoyed #6, is it gives the viewer the surrounding area to view, while also giving a clear path down the bridge. Whenever I'm on a bridge, I'm always looking at the surrounding scenes. This shot captures that same feeling.

It's good to see a different angle on a photo :)
Here's my thread of the same subject done with a standard angle: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=311848#311848
I have to say that I really like #4, it seems to follow the lines of the bridge the best and doesn't have too much of the walkway showing. But it may be as I know subject in real life and so it's easier for me to follow the non-standard angle.

I like #1. I like the fact that I can see the surface of the road. And although an odd angle, which I find daring, the top part of the bridge seems to bring everything back to a normal plane. I hope I make sense!

Hey I walked over that bridge today to go and buy some new shirts at the outlet! :D
I'd go for #6 - I think the background gives a better sense of size and definition.

:D They're all nice sGu, but No. 2 is my favorite because it is artistic and to me, it captures the subject (bridge) very nicely.
Show us more! :D :D

:D Oh Man - the first one really captures the elegance of the bridge and doesn't make the background buildings stand out too much. What an artistic shot.
Great work, :D

The second to last one is my favorite. It encompasses all of the things that make the first one great, but at night and the reflection and lighting are gorgeous.
