Love the fact you have caught the ship perfectly on the horizon against the red sky. It would have been nice if the water was just a touch more blue in contrast, though obviously not too much more as it would be weird with the redness of the rest of the shot.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Composition:

I think the composition choices here were quite limited, however presentation wise I personally think I might have cropped 3cm off the bottom and made it in to a pano style shot, for me this strengthens the draw to the bridge, for some strange reason it also limits the impact of the post sticking out the of the sea which in the original does demand quite a lot of attention. These are obviously just my opinions so please don't take offense.

Camera Work:

The technical look great, nicely exposed, great tonal range.

Post-Processing:

Nicely post processed in my opinion, it would have been very easy to over saturate this shot and for me the soft feel (not talking focus here) is a big part of the images charm. I think you have kept the image very "real" so kudos for that.

My Opinion:

I really like the image and could easily see it hanging on an office wall somewhere, it kind of exudes serenity and calm, I think if the bridge had been a little more "in your face" then it would have scored much better, whether my suggestions above would have achieved that or not I do not know, but I believe those steps are how I would have chosen to submit this shot.

Good luck in future challenges!

Mark

This picture bombs as a thumbnail, but is really really good proper size - I'm so glad I clicked on it.

I like the simplicity here... i would have avoided the black pole to the right, unless it was intentional... Raj

super shot of a suspension bridge - it really looks like it's floating in mid-air
