Long Horse Bridge
River Trent, Derbyshire

The bridge and the low sun are wonderful. However, does the almost black, almost featureless, left hand side contribute to the image? Perhaps crop to a different composition, with some enhancement of the sun's glow and the clarity of the bridge.

E.g.

Crossing the Ohio River into Kentucky.

This is an amazing huge structure of girders and rivets, and a good composition for the photo. It just needs a boost in the processing to give more of an impression of depth in the scene.

Thanks Philip. That's a good critique. I'm not sure what a "boost" is but I've dialed in bit of contrast. And I think I know what bridge is as in the file name.

Sorry WD, I should have typed "contrast boost" - but you obviously got the idea! I think it looks very good now.

Cheers.

Thanks Ed for the B&W suggestion. Here it is.

I was a bit lost that day. A bit of research suggested the Cairo Bridge, but now I think it's the Shawneetown Bridge. What will I think next?

Hi W.D.

The other two were both good in their own ways, but, this B & W rendition is the winner from where I'm sitting and that Kenworth or is it a Mac? Puts some perspective and appreciation of scale into the image.

First class job, well done.

Regards.

Phil.

Phl:

I had a hard time identifying the bridge. Getting the truck make will surely be guesswork from me.

Good old London Bridge and a shot taken in Manchester showing 3 ages of bridge design.

Simon,

That's 'Tower Bridge', London Bridge is now living somewhere in Texas. LOL.

Regards.

Phil.

[Simon Rose]

Ahh that's right, because London Bridge was falling down, falling down, falling down...

Not from 'the Smoke' so all those Bridges do confuse me! Thanks for putting me straight!

Phillip, your country has the most beautiful/visually appealing bridges, and architecture in general. Nothing even approaches the beauty and design of this bridge in my neck of the woods!! And the way that you have captured it is superb.

Thank you, Glen.

I just hope the authorities look after them for future generations to enjoy - they are under increasing strain from the rising volume and weight of traffic.
