Astoria-Megler Bridge Redux

Great tone and contrast. I especially like the low clouds.

Great Photo!

Comments, ratings appreciated on traditonal black and white shot,

developed and printed in my home darkroom. I liked the clouds and dark

bridge. Suggestions on printing welcome. Thanks.

I agree with Henry.. Love the low clouds..

Nice shot. I love the clouds too !

Very dramatic

stunning

Last night I printed a 16"x16" print of this--looks very sharp (in my opinion!). I may try it at 20x20 or 24x24 just to see how it looks!

Did you consider holding the underside of the bridge back? A better question might be; Is there any detail on the neg of the under-side of the bridge? It's a bit too black up there for my taste, I'd try to get a less drastic tone there, and on the concrete piles too. It's pretty good though, particularly the sky.

An excellent B&W...

John, thanks for the comments. I really admire your black and whites--I'm still learning a lot about darkroom work.

classic!

WIth or without the bridge, the sky is just so great and so low!

An excellent B&W image. I really like the composition. The way the bridge runs out of the top of the frame gives it more of a dynamic presence in the image. I agree with John. I would like to see more detail on the underside of the bridge, but that may not be possible. Nice work.

Great hue/tones. Composition is very interesting.

Very interesting indeed. Almost surreal.
