Autumn crossing!

Bridge across the mighty St-Lawrence!Salutations-Laurent

Very nice B&W image, composition, contrast, exposure.

Rich...Thank you for viewing and for the kind appreciation.Salutations-Laurent

Laurent, yesterday, I drafted a somewhat lengthy set of comments, only to discover today that I must not have clicked on the "add comment" button. Memory won;'\'t allow me to reconstruct it. Aside from the majesty of the bridge, I am fascinated by the combination of the rather peaceful water gently lapping onto the shore, the leaves strewn on the beach creating multiple, asymmetrical patterns, and the tree limbs entering the frame from the right edge, hanging over the shoreline and possibly the beach also. The tonality is spot on, and other tech elements fit that description also. Yet, what really drew me in to this image for starters was how artfully you conceived and executed it. A favorite. - - My best, michael

Michael...Thank you kindly...doubly as you had to re-take your so elegant appreciation.As with all these autumn shots,it is always a struggle(for me) to push that desaturation button and erase the catchy colors present for such a short time but in the end,going B/W shifts the focus onto the scene as you so well highlight;glad you like this enough to merit a spot in your Favorites.Merci et salutations-Laurent

Cher Laurent: I was drawn into the moment immediately as I saw this wonderful perspective, only to find it was your mastery that produced the perfect, exact focal point for utter perfection in perspective. I guess it is "the usual suspects", i.e. the top photographers in PN....Compressing the bridge as you did from your POV denotes your vast photographic and aesthetic experience and good taste. It is those very fine details...for me anyway....the lonely branch showing the direction of the traveler across this engineering feat of human ingenuity and force of creation. I cannot congratulate you enough, just respectfully bow in silence. DG

Daniel,mon ami...Simplement merci encore de cette genéreuse appréciation.I am always impressed that my images draw any attention but doubly so when appreciation comes from one with such a critical eye;again I thank you my friend for the kind words....a birthday gift...what?Salutations amicales-Laurent
