Challenge: Straight from the Camera (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
Location: Under Crown Point Bridge in Leeds, UK
Date: Jul 2, 2006
Aperture: F9.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1 sec
Galleries: Cityscape, Architecture
Date Uploaded: Jul 2, 2006

Taken under Crown Point Bridge in Leeds. Unfortunately the wall has a lean giving the appearance of a wonky horizon!!

Set camera to shoot B&W, something I never do but I felt this bridge would look so much better in B&W and I knew I couldn't convert in this challenge so I thought I'd see how it looked using the in-camera settings.

Resized for uploading.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Gee whiz! I like both of your entries, but this one came to me to be Critiqued so I won't dwell on your flower one except to say it's handsome and I wish I'd thought of the idea.

Okay, the commentors seemed to be divided between symmetry and not so.
My vote goes for the way you have it. That tree (bush) on the right absolutely makes the image. (Well, so do the strong lines and still water, but they don't make my point.) Besides the obvious attractions this image has going for it, it does have that little edginess that comes from asymmetry and it looks good.

BTW, in judging horizons, just take a look at the water. That water is absolutely straight across and that fact insists the image is correct. Optical illusions are fun, and in this case, perhaps tricked a few viewers.

Keep up the good work. YOu've figured out how to present images well and I really, really look foward to seeing more of your work.

i love the lines of this shot. i would have given it a 9 if you had rotated the camera a few degrees left to make it symmetrical. but i'm still giving it an 8 because the lack of symmetry doesn't ruin it.

Nice symetry. Must not have been easy without cropping. Good job!
