    Re: Bridge over Fontana

    Nothing you can do about it but I wonder why the bridge engineers used two different types of supports for what otherwise appear to be identical bridges.

    On the other hand, the different supports offer nice contrast and give the viewer something to focus on.

    Great on the fly shot regardless.

    Nice shot if you were moving. It looks as though you lined it up well. I like the perspective too. To bad about the dull sky, but you handled it well.

    Interesting pair of bridges. Are they "His and Her's"? It also looks like the water level is down quite a bit.

    Yeah, good job catching this on the fly like that. Nice color on the water and the bridges.

    Open both pictures in PS. Use the rectangle tool and rectangle the first picture, Use the move tool and place it over the second picture and then use the erase tool and erase the sky and the second sky will show through.

    Beautifully composed. Peaceful shot too. Not sure if the lack of definition in the sky is a problem or not, for it might help sooth the photo. I like how there are no humans
