Old bridge

Please suggestions, critiques, comments, ratings. Thanks!!!

Nice photo! It looks like a painting. I like it.

For the size of the picture you presented, the main subject (the bridge) is too far and hard to see clearly. The river is too much obscured by the land. The foreground grass is on the verge of being over-exposed, while the large patch of gras in the middle is way too overexposed - there you lost colour and detail completely. The trees are on the brighter side, but OK. The sky looks interesting, but is also over-exposed, so you are losing detail in the clouds. The foreground grass and the trees could be fixed by using curves or levels in PS or GIMP (GIMP is free from www.gimp.org), or dialing perhaps - 2/3 of a stop in exposure compensation on your camera. However, that wouldn't fix that overblown middle area of grass, and most likely not the sky. So what I would do is get closer to the main subject much later in the day when the light is not so harsh.

Thanks again for your critique. It really helps me to see problem. This photo is croped, original is the one i posted in this comment. On two different occasions i took many shots from two different spots, although on the same side of the bridge. This channel of the river is dead, they built new channel. So on this spot it looks like swamp. The grass is in the water. So from this side I cannot come closer. I'll check some other spots, but it's hard to come closer. And I'm not sure is it safe.

I was not completely satisfied with any of the photos. I've putted this one to hear some comments, and suggestions.

I did something in photoshop, as you will notice when you see original.

Anyway, still learning and it's good to hear constructive critiques.

Stay well, Dejan
