I have been trying to photograph this bridge for ages. I like it. I always look at it and think there's a decent photo in there somewhere. Any comments welcome and any ideas?

Thanks

Martin

I would agree as I find the tree's branch is pretty prominent and detracts from the bridge.

Yes, the branches are overwhelming here.

i agree... maybe get closer with something wide. try b&w? interesting angles? dont settle for straight on shots and you will surprise yourself.

They aren't overwhelming to me---I find that curvy branch intriguing.

But I am odd :lol:

Thanks Miss Kitty. The cropped photo for me, is about the relationship between that branch and the bridge. Maybe, I am a little odd too...

Regards

i think it would be better in summer. The trees would create a nice framing instead of the clutter the branches makes now.

I think there is too! The second picture kinda leads you to the bridge with gate being open and then the road on the right side leading to the bridge maybe this might of been better shot horizontally....but I agree there's something there.

You need to find a viewpoint of this mundane structure which communicates something of which you find appealing about it.

Many thanks for your comments.

I know that the image isn't there but, it fascinates me. I love the structure and don't consider it to be mundane at all. It looks better in a mount too.

Regards

Martin
