[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a hdr image of the clifton suspension bridge in bristol, England. Started by the famous Victorian engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, However the construction of the bridge was plagued with problems and work was halted, Work only started again after Brunel's death, as a tribute to him.
As you can imagine we Bristolians are very proud of it.
I hope I have done the bridge justice.

Hi Martin,

A wonderful shot of the lightened bridge reflecting great mood in the capture!
The sharpness and POV are very well-chosen. The colors are simply eye-catching and the trees aaround the bridge enhances the beauty of it, by giving nice contrast. The cloudy sky adds another feather into your crown. Very well done!

Thanks for posting.

regards,
Paras Bhalla

Hello Martin
What a spectacular pov, you must know the location very well. I like the datials of the bridge, and the 'blue hour' sky is good also. I'm not so sure about the treatment of the trees etc, but then again this is in the hpp catagory. Again the pov is stunning and has indeed done justice to the bridge.
Regards, Leslie

Not a bad HDR treatment, the blueish tones of the river banks around and below the bridge are quite eyecatching - actually the shadows possibly didn't need to be lifted as much, the bridge would stand out more that way perhaps?

I wonder also if a different POV or treatment would have made the bridge seem more impressive? There's a lot of sky and other negative space in the shot, which gives us less bridge (and admittedly more 'context,' but how necessary is that?) A tighter crop around your subject could have made it more impressive to the viewer?

Just some thoughts, bridge photos are not my forte so these are merely speculations.

i live in bristol as well martin,and it is so hard to get a good shot of this bridge.
very nice photo and use of HDR well done.
look forward to seeing some more of your pics.

the merged pre-adjustments seem to be not so well chosen, as the lights are still slightly overexposed. And the photo is lacking of sharpness. Furthermore, the grey frame is not fitting from a graphical pov, but this is not the theme here.

On the other hand side, this is a very interesting photo of this nice bridge.
I like the dynamic sky versus the static bridge.

Go ahead
Cheers
