Had this not been basic editing, I would have removed that white sign in the bush above the bridge and cleaned up the slight lens flare in the woods...

**********

Agreed. Border is obmoxious. ;-) I had meant to make it smaller, and hit a time crunch. Convinced myself it was fine. So, I learned something. :-)

As for other editing comments -- thank you. my intent here was to take the eye from the right bottom corner to the left bottom corner -- you enter the path on one side of the bridge, and fall off on the other side -- without really getting anywhere. For me, cutting off the bridge part wouldn't have that same impact of taking the eye along the path from Point A to Point B. But maybe my title was off, then....

Thanks, everyone for the helpful comments.

Personally, would prefer such an image with a bit more contrast and/or saturation. The trunk in the foreground may be distracting as well. Otherwise ΓΆ€“ very nice!

The frame really takes away from the image.

This would have effect even if the camera weren't tilted.

A nice image. The border was a major distraction for me would have scored it higher without it.

Your border is Obnoxious but other than that i do like your picture it is captivating and the perfect angle. That border brings you down though, you dont need it your picture is good without it.

the border really broadens the photo and makes it easier to look at, but it hink it would have been better if the whole bridge was centered.

cropping off the left side of the bridge would communicate the "nowhere" better.
