Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a very well done shot for both the challenge and, going by your comment, your newness to the wonderful world of photography. The leading lines and tones are fantastic and very BC-ish (lived there for 6 1/2 yrs). I see you have a good grasp on the technical stuff though on such a murky day, you probably could have shot at an even higher ISO and done no harm. Hubby's doing a great levitation, how many did it take?

Now for the nitpicky stuff...in all honesty the only thing I really would change is having him more to the other side of the bridge. He looks like he's heading out of frame. Looks like you're already crouched down using a low POV, of which I am a huge fan. I don't imagine getting him to wear brightly coloured footwear is much of an option though, is it? Now if this place is close to home, make the most of it and if you can talk him into it, try and reshoot a little and see what you get. Never hurts to shoot as much as you can.

Overall a great levitation and entry, keep up the good work!

Feel free to PM me.

Susan

Thank you for liking my photo . It's hard to get my Husband to wear bright cloths . LOL and the cloudy day didn't help at all :) but it was fun .

Thanks , I honestly didn't even notice the feet until you said it . Oops ! I'm very new at photography . LOL I will pay more attention to lines next time . Thank you for comment :)

Well done. One of the few natural-looking levitation shots. And bridges are always cool.

fantastic! only seen a few so far whilst voting, but this is the first I've seen where it actually looks like levitating, perhaps because the subject is doing something other than just gazing off into the distance... nice work. Technically, I find the colours to be a bit bland, but the photo meets the challenge and that was a challenge in itself!
