[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Sunset over the infamous Bridge on the River Kwai, near Kanchanaburi. This was the best of a bad trio. The other 2 shots I took had severe lens flare problems. Dodged & burned as far as I could go without a nosedive in quality. Hope you like it.

Truth or Dare?
You have chosen 'Truth'.
I would have waited. There is far too much emphasis on the sun than on the more interesting bridge, which is barely visible. If you chop this one in half horizontally, the bridge half is ... lacking. If the sun had been allowed to dip, there would have been enough light to have shown the bridge with a still light sky? Or am I not understanding the problem? Eeeek! it is not easy, this game.

Look like a very difficult scene to take. PP came to the rescue on this beautiful scene. Bravo & TFS Chris. Happy Chinese New Year! GONG XI FA CAI!! :)

well. it is still interesting, M, (*_*)

Congratulations.

Mmmm... yes. A lovely sunset, maybe the quality on the bridge itself has suffered, but I like the light on its structures.
The silhouettes of the trees are great as well, whereas the hill in the distance creates a nice backdrop.
Well done, TFS.

The landscape of the bottom is wonderful
the sunset is fantastic, the shadows
they mold the beautiful show, I feel alone for the bridge
hardly of the to see she, silhouettes outlines a little
but a beautiful picture.
Congratulations

I have been here to the bridge, sad story. Pretty sky colors.
