    looks tilted to the right, and seems to be a little OOF ( out of focus )

    Re: Bridges

    Yes indeed it seems tilted and out of focus. Did you shoot with a tripod?

    Also I note that the top of the bridge pretty much runs across the center of the frame. I think it would be better to place the top of the bridge across the top third of the frame to include more of the running water in the bottom of the picture.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Trying to learn from my mistakes and your guys great feedback I've reworked this shot One of the problems with HDR is if there is very little movement in subject (here wind moving trees, leafs) then you get that oof look. Added little more contrast little sharpening and straightened the bridge.

    Re: Bridges

    if you scroll up and use the top of browser as level, you are still off a tweak..and I think it wouldn't hurt to get the tree leaning more also. Its small but it was apparent to my eye before scrolling.
    Please ask to edit photos and I'll do the same! :thumbsup:
    Thx, Rod

    Whaddup, abiciriderback.

    Can you post a non-HDR version of this shot? Just wondering what the scene would look like?

    Aw man at first I was ready to post all kinds of critique but you pretty much nailed it in your edit. Look great. Love the bridge! It's emerging from all of the nature and growth around it, yet it's still engulfed, I think it's perfect just how it is.

    Re: Bridges

    You did a good job improving the 2nd photo!:thumbsup:

    ~The smoothness of the water is nice.
    ~Colors & cropping look good.
    ~However, I think it remains slightly tilted toward the right.
