I like this image :) Only thing I would change is maybe to get under the bridge a bit more so it covers the entire top left corner.

I think Gem has picked on the only thing I can see also. Choosing a composition that has the curved arch totally covering the top of the shot would be a cleaner look and give the bridge a larger feel.

Thanks guys. I was kind of liking that green roof in the top left corner but I think maybe on second thought this version is stronger.

I feel like the second one needs to be a picture where you take it straight on, and the bridge starts at one end and curves around to the other....if you understand what I mean (don't think I explained it too well).

Can you crop that one so the two top corners are not showing sky? I guess that would just cut too much off even in the center. I think a lower angle shooting up at your green roof might have been the best option.

Man I'd love to walk around there taking shots with that snow in it. :rolleyes:

I love the arch composed as it is in the first shot. I might have stepped just a little to the left so that you would have had just a bit more of the top of the arch for an opposite effect to its underside. I think the shape formed by the disappearing underside is appealing and is matched by a similar shape in the blue bridge.

I don’t think it was entirely necessary to show the skate park in the image unless you had to. Without the pit, we might have seen more of the arch and buildings behind it. I also noticed that the vertical lines in the buildings and lamp post could use just a little straighting.

Both images are nice, but I like the first one more.

I agree the arch does look way more cool in the first shot.
