The old bridge of Tara

[Levy Davish]

So I came back from Montenegro and one of my favorite Photos was this one because I think I managed to isolate the bridge from the whole scene by sliding down the light. But somehow I get that feeling that something is missing, something is not fit. Please feel free to share your thoughts

I think your isolation is very good. I might crop or clone out the stone wall lower right. A shame about the power lines, they could be cloned I suppose but probably a lot of work.

I love the arc of the bridge and the backlit fall leaves here. I would definitely clone out the stones at the lower right. It would certainly take some work to clone out the power lines but it might be worth it.

Hey Levy, what a cool bridge. No wonder you stopped to shoot it.

My first impression is that the bridge is your focal point, but it’s way up high in the frame. There is no real breathing room above it. Had you angled up some, you could have eliminated the power lines at the bottom with giving the shot some head space above the bridge so the bridge can pull the eye through the image.

Lowering the right side of the bridge to enter the frame at the lower 1/3rd mark would allow the highest point of the bridge to be at the 2/3rd mark. I just think that would flow better.

Thank you Ben. You'r right about those stones and those Omega wires.

As I said you both right. I'll consider that

Wow I didnt think about that. This is what I was looking for. Thank you Jim
