This was taken in Tacoma,Wa. The tall structure is a very beautiful bridge that is there. The run down building in the forground will eventually give away to a more modern structure such as the bridge rising behind it.

Excellent contrast between old and new. The straight lines of the bridge and the earthy brick below really make for a great feeling of how man progresses and leaves the old behind to make room for the new. Your exposure is real good, you have enough light in the foreground to make out details, but not so much as to washout the background. The clouds in contrast to the darker stone work adds another nice element to the shot. Due to your vantage point there isn't much you can do about the pole with wires other then just crop the whole thing out. This would have left you just the two main poles and the brickwork below. The biggest concern if you had done that is that you may loose the before and after feel of the shot.

I really like how the bridge 'grows' from the old. You have presented a strong image.

Beautiful. The composition of this is really effective. The buildings down below may seem a little bit dimly lit, but that actually works given the theme of the new structure towering over the ruins of the old one.

challenge met. nice idea to contrast the new bridge with the old crumbled building. i also like that the building is darker, helping to set the two apart. of course a blue sky would be nice (even nicer if we could control the weather ;). the one thing that i would consider doing differently that is within your control is to crop a little more off the left side to eliminate the neg space at the top left that i don't feel adds anything to the shot. nice shot overall :)

I don't see the B&A here. Maybe I don't understand what the wires are. It's a nice photo, a little too dark on the bottom, but otherwise nice. The sky appears ominous which I like how you captured that. I hope you explain the B & A.
