Hi Ruth.
This is superb, I like this POV with a lot of water, the diagional of this beautiful bridge and this awesome sky with these menacing clouds. Very well done.

Hi Ruth,
Great photo. Maybe a tad too centered, but the mood in this photo created by the light is stunning. I like the way the sun reflects its light in the colored bridge and refelcts this again on the water.

Hi Ruth,

Very beautiful scenery, and i like the layer of water particulary. And then, the red bridge is very remarkable in much blue space.

Thanks for sharing,

The light is very interesting in this shot, Ruth! Goes from showing the bridge in full colours, to be almost totally black in the background. Good composition, maybe a bit centered, but it's showing good stuff above and below. Well done!

Very cool.
Is the bridge ever going to be clear of scaffolding?
The image superbly conveys the scale of the bridge within its context. It makes clouds look small!

Contraste muy bueno del cielo con la estructura del puente y los reflejos insinuados en el agua.
Felicitaciones Ruth.
Saludos y gracias. Que pases un buen día.

Hi Ruth
Great capture of this bridge, good colours and perspective. Being as finicky as I am, it bothers me a little that the horizon isn't level, I would love to see this with the lower 1/4 cropped and the whole shot rotated anticlockwise about 1 degree ... Hope you don't mind my comments.

Hello Ruth!

Another Great composition and light on this shot my friend. A more common POV for this well known bridge, but the light and sky are really impressive here.
Superb work to capture the moment.
Bravo!

Good shot of the bridge along with some really dramatic colours in the sky and in the water - all helps to intensify the red of the bridge. Beautiful shot.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Ruth,
What a great shot! Astonishing the colours red/blue/grey are really beautiful. It's a composition of nature (the Firth of Forth) and the bridge. Very well done. TFS!

Hi Ruth, superb image here with stunning colours and light. Love the contrasts. But maybe I see a little bit of noise in the sky.

Great work! Yan :)

One of the best Bridge shots I've seen.
It's a shame there always seems to be scaffolding and work tents all over it now.

Well done.

Terrific photo! I love the POV and the colors are fabulous. However, I wonder if a tighter crop might improve the overall image.

Hi, Ruth,

This is awesome. I've taken lots of shots of this bridge and looked at even more but this is the best I have seen. I've been browsing your other pictures and they are fantastic.

Well done.

Best Wishes,
