    I like it but think you should clone the power lines and maybe the sign on the far side hill. Very good composition.

    Very nice composition and an interesting subject, agree that cloning out the powerlines is a necessary evil in this case!

    Nice shot of a beautiful setting. I'm imagining it without the modern yellow and white signs and power lines...would make it look like an old photograph. But then again, I kind of like the brightness that the yellow brings to the picture. Just wish it said something more interesting than just the height.

    Re: Covered Bridge

    Nice overall shot. The lines are a pity but I've been in this situation many times.. Just gotta take what's offered. You could remove them in post processing.

    The shot is nice but I also wonder if you could have taken a different angle - say lower - to make it less straightforward. It would be more creative like that, maybe. GB

    Re: Covered Bridge

    Good shot and I agree about losing the power lines. I think opening up the crop a little would help as it feels a little tight and cramped. Beautiful covered bridge and a pretty descent photo.
