Was out this morning and caught this group of people wandering across the bridge. I would like the concrete pillars to be more vertical but I'll take what I can get.
Cheers,
Owen.

Owen, I like this - the perspective is great and you've captured great lighting.

You have captured the warm morning light. It is the colour of gold against that deep blue sky.

I agree, you've got two complimentary colours down to a tee. The red and the blue look great together. The lines leading to the centre left make this image very appealing.

the red with the blue sky look good ...... but the use of either a blue grad filter or photoshop grad on the left hand side is a bit of putting to a good image......the grad is a little strong

Thanks for the comments guys. I guess I need to try taking the polariser off some times

The only thing done to this image before resizing was a curves adjustment, which I guess emphasised the unevenness in the sky. I like it, but I should try it without the polariser next time.
Many thanks,
Owen.

Beautiful lighting and colours. I also think it would work well as a panorama, cropped to remove the bottom part of the shot (maybe from just above the base of the second pylon from the right?)

a nice capture.
like the diagonals and use of perspective.
Agree that it would work as a pano. the dark stuff around the first pylon doesnt contribute much to this shot.

THanks for looking guys.
When processing it I did try cropping it just above the dark matter on the larger pylon, but it just didn't look right. Thanks for the advice though
Cheers,
Owen.

Here's another version of the shot. The light and reflection were better in this bridge shot, so I cloned in the people from the original one. What do you think?
