[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Key Bridge is a reinforced concrete arch bridge and one of the many bridges that connect Washington D.C. and Virginia along the Potomac River. Shot from Georgetown, D.C. The camera was set at 'Vivid' mode, and no color adjustment was made.

Nathan C. Wyeth was the architect for Key Bridge. It was built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers between 1917 and 1923 and was named after Francis Scott Key, author of the Star Spangled Banner. The northern terminus of the bridge is just east of the site of Key's Georgetown home, which was later demolished; near that site, there is now a community park honoring Key.

Photo taken last weekend during a photo walk organized by TL's Michael Porterfield. Postprocessing included auto contrast and sizing.

Hello, Danilo -
Great wide angle shot with a low POV to really convey a sense of broad space. Your angle shows the bridge in diminishing perspective; the repeating shapes and bright colors of the kayaks are an excellent element. Very sharp throughout. Nice work!

Hello Danilo,
Excellent composition, perspective and well planned position of elements.
Red color serves as a nice focal point.

Hi Danilo

I like the alternating colours of the fg canoes, which also 'point' the way into the photo. Good sharpness, & a dramatic pov, under the bridge. Have a great weekend!

Hello Danilo,

Your pov gives great emphasis to the shape and structure of the bridge and places it on a near diagonal across the frame. Great composition!
The colours and orientation of the kayaks add f/g interest and lead the way into the scene.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Danilo.
Great SHOT from this key Bridge and nice composition. With the canoes at the bank, Anyway excellent. Best regards Siegfried

Hi Danilo,
Excellent shot. I love the low POV with this one, works really well with the colourful kayaks in the FG. You tone mapped this image right? The bridge looks so defined and empowering, the cloud coverage is a nice addition too. Nice job.

dear Danilo,
using some perspectives in one view, and also using contrasted colors, make unique scene in your photo space.
crossing perspective lines and composing vivid red and dim blue are nicely effective to stimulate our space sensations in our eyes and imaginations.
now these red boats look tearing my monitor,
thank you,
Akihisa

Hi Danilo,
this is a very strong & vibrant image,I thought at first that the foreground kayaks were a little too much, but I was wrong , as they certainly balance the strength of the bridge & their colours do give punch to the scene.A strong composition IMHO.
