Bridge over river...

BTW: I got a "real camera" a Minolta SLR, w/28-105mm. This picture isn't from it. However, I took the same area with it. Haven't had them developed yet though. There is no such thing as blue or clear water in georgia by the way . I know this sucks, but I am looking for suggestions, so I can do better.

I don't see this title being that fitting. The bridge isn't really that prominent of a subject point. That being said, I'd recommend cropping a large portion of the bottom off, and maybe giving it a color adjustment. I believe it would help,

Nice shot, just a few thigns you can change,

I can see how it can be an interesting scene to capture, however I'm not sure what you want to present here. The rail bridge is a great subject, but following up with jar_e, it's not the focal point, so we lose what I think you want us to see. In landscape shots, I found it best to learn and respect the rule of thirds (foreground, middleground and background) before learning to break them and get a creative shot.
Keep shooting and repost pics soon!

Thanks for your imput. This was shot with my digital. The pics from my SLR will be developed sometime this week, and I shot many more with it. The bridge is impossible (unless I had a boat) to center. You guys answered the real question though. I was wondering more about composition, and subject. Although I haven't seen the film versions yet, I like the feel and options on it much more, and use my digi as a "tester" more now, and for macros. At least until I get a macro lens .

Very nice colours here but it is lacking in anything to capture my interest. As Jared said the bridge is almost lost in the foliage. Worth a return visit if it's near where you live.

I too think you should crop the bottom a little.
Post the shots from the SLR when you get them....

Tell me about clear water and the south east right now!!! All of this rain has realy made a mess of things around here in Greenville SC too.

Keep shooting.
