| I like the use of the trees as natural framing. Good detail in the bridge. Maybe a little more contrast would help it "pop" a little more? |

Greetings from the critique club Maria,
I love the composition of this. In my book it̢۪s a great example of framing but I think you may have suffered a little in the scoring because a lot of the voters look for a complete frame around the photo. I also really like the subject and the B&W. Image wise if there was one thing I would have done differently, I might have framed it a little more to the left so you have less tree on the right and the bridge pillar is in line with the rule of thirds.
Technically, I̢۪d like to see the clouds pop a little more, although they are pretty vivid as is. A polarizer could help do this if you did not use one. I noticed you shot this at f16. I̢۪ve got the same lens and find it̢۪s sharpest at f8-f10. I think you could still get the DOF you want at f10 and you̢۪d have a faster shutter (if you shot hand held) and would get a better image. Also, it may have been haze, but the bridge looks a little grey. Maybe some playing around in levels, curves or with the contrast could make this a little better (if you haven̢۪t already tried). Too bad this wasn̢۪t a member challenge because you could burn the area and make the haze go away.
All around, great job. I personally would have given it a 6, maybe a 7. There are a few minor issues but I don̢۪t think the strong composition more then makes up for them. Good luck on future challenges, if you have any questions on this review feel free to contact me.

| 6 - Nice. Toning works very well. Like to have seen a variation in/more of the 'natural framing', especially for this Challenge, but is nice as is. The building in the rear on the left detracts slightly, so perhaps trying to crop/angle that out may have helped. |
