The Bridge

[mycr0ft]

This is my first time taking an architecture photoshot...
I think I need many advices ^^

I like the angle. My only nit pick would be you could have included the top of the rails left and right. Did you crop it at all?

[mycr0ft]

no i didn't crop it..
as long as I can remember, there are some unwanted object around, so I zoom in to take the bridge only..
what about the color, is it alright? I used flash on it...cause it was quite dark day, a litttle bit rainning..

Interesting symmetry -- if you had taken this shot on a sunny day, shadows might have spoiled that sense of bilateral equality. This is one of the few instances where putting the center of focus in the center of the image actually works. The repeating lines of the rails are dynamic enough to draw the eye into the image and the vertical lines of the posts and roofed section add interest to what could have been a boringly static composition.

The colours look a little flat to me perhaps a vibrance boost, I think that tile roof should be a bit brighter especially after the rain. Other than that I nice shot.

It looks like you used a fill flash, the light source does seem rather sharp and direct in front of the stairs. I think the presence of some soft shadow edges somewhere in the shot could help.

*edit - Oh I see you mentioned using a flash...

shadows might have spoiled that sense of bilateral equality.

Perhaps, but uniform lighting from a direct angle of light source hurt the natural look of colors and shadows. The shadows make things look natural, even if it is slightly uneven.

You might boost the contrast and saturation just a little but be careful not to go to far.

I agree that the flash does not help, as doesn't the lighting in general. Nice lines on the bridge, but the flat light and dull sky spoil the shot for me. The colours are lacking so may be worth mono?

I've always tried to take in just a bit more than I want, because I can crop after. I can't put something back that I cut out of the frame, though.

Good Shot to make it BW
