animals and nature Cahaba River Bridge

I like this dark green mood !

The subject is interesting, the composition is perfect and the lighting (in a tricky situation) is very good. All in all a photo that in it's simplicity conveys a lot. I sense that this part of the world is dear to you, and many memories are linked to this place? Well done. For me it's a 6+. Now if there had been a child, swimming below the surface and positioned exactly in the space between the railings ... (worth returning?).

Thanks.

good composition...appears to be slightly underexposed.

I think it's a bit too dark too. I took the opportunity for some Photoshop practice (I hope you don't mind). I lightened it up and "vignetted" it to produce the above. Nice shot/composition...:)

Your scan is much better. I was having a lot of trouble with my scanning. I think I've gotten a little better. Scanning is a pain though. Thanks for your comments.

Carla,

 

I love this bridge, and you have done a good job capturing it! It is such a shame that they haven't restored the bridge, because where I used to live (Maryland) they have quite a few bridges like this from the same period (the bridge was built in 1903 or 1907 I think) that have been cleaned up, and they are really pretty.

 

One thing, the bridge isn't actually on the Cahaba River. The Cahaba is actually a small distance away, the bridge is on a tributary to the Cahaba that forms lake Purdy a short distance upstream.
