Douthit Bridge

I like the composition and really like the soft grays.
If you can bring out the sign a bit more..not too much..I think it would be perfect.
Very nice shot!

[Didache]

Greg - yes it is a nice shot, and the tones receding into the bridge are lovely - that is what mono was made for! I am in two minds though about whether or not you should take a little off the sides. On balance, I think you should, but it's a close call.

Cheers

Thanks Frog, Thanks Mike. Here is cropped and sign dodged ever so slightly.

[Didache]

Much better I think .. You've turned a decent shot into a really good one.

Cheers

Greg, hmm I think the second is feeling a little cramped now..?.. We had a similar bridge called shallowford on our vacation..one car bridge and olddd. ok, I think, in the second, you should try losing the sign and crop down to the first crossbeam below it..more a pano and add in the border. Keeps your eye flowing down the bridge taking in all the steel structure..?..

Thanks again Mike, Thanks as well Rod. I do have a version without the sign. I was shooting over a fence here but I crawled under the fence onto the bridge, muddy place for sure. I also took a few medium format shots with a Yashica 124G.

I prefer the crop. much more pleasing to look at. A little too much shrubbery in the front of the first version for my taste.

Thanks Shooter T

[Frog]

I like how you dodged the sign but prefer the uncropped version.
I guess you'll have to decide which one you like. Either way a good shoot.

Greg, I like the first one the best. An object that big does need a little extra room.

[Addies Granddaddy]

Greg......as always, another fine piece of work. Either version works, and the choice to go mono is an excellent one as others have said. :thumbsup:
