hdr shot of a walking bridge...

any thoughts or advice...?

I like how the bridge leads your eye towards the sunset. Good lighting and composition. Nice job on the HDR also. Not overdone, as so many are.

thanks very much. I was hoping I didn't overdo it...

Because of the "visual heartburn", I'm not much of a fan of what typically gets posted as HDR. Yours seems to break the mold of the usual stuff. Not overcooked, colors look like what one would expect, and its a good composition. Good job.

A competent photograph but lacking in interest.

Not overdone HDR. Good on you. The light reflects nicely in the wood of the bridge. Only thing that jars a it is that there is ever so slight a tilt to the right - I think.

dammit...you have no idea how many times I tried to get it aligned correctly. the bridge is not completely straight, so it's tough to figure out what to use. I thought I finally got it right. I'll take another look.

thank you for the feedback!!

Next time just try to get the spacing between the posts on either side right. If you look at it now the spacing from the right post to the right side of the frame is larger than the spacing from the left post to the left side of the frame.

This is awesome! One thing that's bugging me is the alignment is ever so slightly off. Other than that it's fantastic!

thank you very much.

No problem. And by the way, don't feel compelled to make this totally aligned. This could be very strong as well if you exaggerate the misalignment a lot, by recomposing to the right. Lots of options with this image.

perfect, but to add a tip. since you are using the symmetrical aspect, make sure its perfectly symmetrical or close. crop a little on the right side

very interesting photo imo. I keep wondering what's on the other side of the bridge. Great shot!

a bit late, but thanks very much!!

I think if you got a model to sit or pose correctly right at the center of the bridge it would make a great portrait under the correct lighting of course.
