Drunk Bridge...

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Two shots of the same bridge from different sides.
I am experimenting with the shadows and patterns (obviously at night).

Wowsa, I like them both, strong lights and shadows, and really suits the black and white.

I like number two the best. I find the bright light to distracting from the 'abstractness' of the image. Great shots.

Thanks guys,
the crooked angles are to add impact to the images.
I dont do many intentionally crooked shots, just sometimes they work better, even if you are twisting your head to look at them.
I do have regular angles shots on this bridge but they are far less interesting to look at, plus this angle reminds me of what life looks like when you are very drunk (or from what I remember).

the B&W treatment is excellent. Too much angle, I like angles however I find these pics are overdone for my personal tastes.

Cheers,

Number two for me... has more of a journey to the photo. I find the light a little too strong in number one

I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.
