[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This bridge crosses the Manawatu river and is the eastern entrance to the Manawatu Gorge. The river offers superb kyaking (so I'm told) and certainly grabs peoples attention when driving through to the western side of the steep gorge.

The Manawatu Gorge is a distinct geological divide between two major mountain ranges in the North Island, i.e. the Tararuas and the Ruahines.

Thanks for viewing.

Salut Martyn.
Beau paysage enjambé par ce pont en arches.
Les couleurs sont parfaitement naturelles et l’image est bien présentée.
Bonne journée.

Hello Martyn,

The f/g triangle of grass emphasises the fine composition, here. Good details of the bridge set against a canopy of varying tones of green.
I bright red car, crossing the bridge, would have been the icing on the cake but we can't have everything, sadly.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hi Martyn,
Nice POV of this bridge, the greens in the FG are quite striking. To be picky I would have brightened up the left hand side of the photo a tad more, just a personal preference. The details look nice and sharp however, suitable presentation too.

TFS,
Scott.

Looks good. The Winter sunlight really shows the colour of the trees nicely.

The Manawatu gorge is difficult to photograph, so you got a good one :)

A picturesque location and a great view of this bridge. Nice lead-in from the lower left corner with the river itself; the central placement of the bridge works well here although IMO this is one shot that would've benefited from a polariser or ND filter to reduce some of that brightness in the sky.
