Greetings from the Critique Club };-)

Initial thoughts
Beautiful photo, barely meets the challenge, bridge is hidden.

Composition/ Content
This is such a great shot but was wasted on this challenge as the bridge in it is hard to see and almost camoflaged. I love the water and the reflections of the buildings but the bridge is not the main focal point.

Technical
Focus seems good. The only thing I might have changed was to give it a touch more saturation so that blue sky would stand out. Of course, I would have shot the bridge from a different angle to show it up more as well.

My Opinion On The Photo
I originally scored this shot a four. I like it a lot but feel it is a stretch to say that it meets the challenge well. I think it would have done nicely in a different challenge. Good job, and keep up the good work.


I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

This bridge is too camoflauged into the cityscape. Its very difficult to see with this lighting.

Maybe you should have shown more of the foreground, to give tho photo more depth...

The bridge is so dark and small that it's hard to see...and it should be the main subject of the picture...Maybe a telephoto lens would have improved it.

Great skyline shot... the bridge seems to get kind of lost in it, though.

bridge really feels like a secondary element in this - almost impossible to see and the shot is dominated by the skyline/reflection, not the bridge.

Very nice image and reflection as well. The sky also looks dark and then fades to a lighter color which creates a nice range of lighting for the image. But where is the bridge in the image??

Of all the bridges in Boston -- you can barely see it in this photo!

Good shot of the skyline and the bridge, but the bridge sort of washes out suddenly into the darker buildings of the skyline. . . I sure like the way the buildings reflect back onto the water!

Nice colors & cropping. You might want to dodge the bridge area a little. 7.

CAn't see the bridge very well. Is that Mass Ave bridge over the Charles?

It is difficult to see the end of the bridge, it seems to get lost in the colour of the buildings. I think that detracts from the image somewhat. The buildings do not appear to be sharp either. I am wondering if a UV filter may have helped things. It's a great scene though.

Although this is a gorgeous gorgeous image, I'm working to hard to find the bridge. This would be better in landscapes.
