POTM [03/07] Blue Bridge

Interesting literal take on the subject, nice change to be honest.

I like the way the bollard frames the left, and is it the lens that makes it curve at the top?

 

I'm not actually sure tbh
I'm assuming your talking about the bollard.

 

Yea.

 

I'm not sure about this one. It's a bridge, and it's blue. It's just not working for me.

This doesn't seem as well thought out as your usual photos, Yoda. The red life-preserver and houses in the background are distracting, and the cloud looks like it wants to be white, but is instead brought down to a muddy gray. Overall, this almost looks like a snapshot, as opposed to your usual work, which is normally executed very well.

Sorry if that seems overly harsh.

Here's the same shot minus the life reserve



and bollard cropped

 

I think more cropping to take out the end of the fence would work well - the leading lines would work much better then imho.

Although I must agree with previous comments - compared to some of your other stuff, I'm not really getting anything from this, just looks more like a snapshot.

 

I appreciate the comments, much better this than "hey nice shot"
Funny thing is I still like this one myself

 

I like the shot with out the bollard and life preserver, its less distracting and allows you to focus on the converging blue lines of the bridge and railing. I also like the metallic shine of the bridge.

Where was it taken, the Edinburgh, Glasgow canal?

 

Taken at Leith Docks,near the Ocean Terminal.

 

Hey, nice shot.

I like it, but how about cropping it so the fence looks like it stretches past you? That way it'll almost look like the bridge is continuous.

 

Nice shot How about cropping it to a 10x10px photo, it's just feeling a bit cluttered atm?...

I like the last version most with cropped bollard and life-reserve removed. Whether or not it fit the theme, I'm not sure, but I like the photo for what it is.
