[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a typical canalbridge in the cities in The Netherlands. This is a old bridge across the Vliet, a canal/ river which cross Delft, The Hague and other cities. This bridge is in The Hague, near familypark Drievliet.
People call this bridge "Kippenbruggetje" (Chickenbridge), because of its wooden layers across the bridge though you can walk easier the bridge.
50 years ago children were playing here and jump off the bridge when they were swimming here.

In sepia I tried to express that old character from the bridge. I hope you like.

This is a nice picture... good idea using speia on it.. and your right it does bring out the character... and makes it a timeless photo, well done. I like the reflection of the trees in the water that is nice too... well done!

Good and evocative image of a bridge. Sepia does enhance the ambience for sure. I suppose my only comment would be that i would have cropped a little more of the sky out, just personal taste

Yes, this looks really nice and well done, the sepia definitely underlines the old character, the slightly diagonal composition is good, the reflections in the water, too...
Well done!
