This photograph was taken few years ago, and the background was

washed out, so I added the water and sun using photoshop. Picture has

distortion cause of the 16mm fisheye lens. Any comments will be

helpful, thanks.

The fisheye effect works well with this one. I think the dropped in sunset view at the end of the tunnel could have been made to look a little more realistic. The dark soft edges makes this look like an obvious PS creation. All in all though, an image that caught my eye and worth high marks...8/8

I don't care how you did it -- it is a marvelous image. The perspective puts the viewer right on the bridge.

Get rid of the bogus sun and it scores higher for me. The image of the bridge itself is outstanding. You didn't need to dress it up.

I really like the result of the fisheye. I am always impressed with good photos taken with this type of lens. I'm not a big fan of PS work and it can sometimes take away from the character of the original.

My only problem with this: the obvious black border of the little sunset shot. Overall impressive composition. Good. Regards.

I agree about the black border and the sun that could be better. But yellow always works well with black.

A lot better now that the yellow sun is gone. Nice shot. Now you notice more info in the bridge itself. The light on the floorboards works especially well.

The picture of the bridge is great, great perspective and everything. I don't care for the photoshop work at the end.I would love to see what the picture looks like un-altered.

I love the patterns on the bridge's supports, bent just slightly as if they're being seen by an insane person, but the composite as a whole feels false and detracts from the eerie overall look.

As a giant fan of covered bridges, I really enjoyed this approach to bending the timbers. The treatment of the other end of the bridge is novel, but slightly alienating. Not sure what the solution is to this problem - I've never considered anything this interesting.

I think there could be anything at the end of the tunnel, and each different image would give a different result. The deformed geometry of the fisheye works perfectly here.

I agree with the other posts that say that the focus of this photo is the bridge, which is great, and we shouldn't be distracted by the sun at the end. Maybe something much simpler, like the horizon without the sun?

love it... i think the issue with the image at the end of the bridge is one of scale...your horizon line is to high... make it look fake/ photoshoped... and the sun is off of where your reflection on the ground is ... great use of a great lens... i think moon not sun would give it a good mood... but thats me...
