Under the Bridge

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Great shot - shows how there's always a new take even on well photographed objects. I love the geometry in this.

VERY nice shot Bob!! This sort of image really appeals to me and I like the way you have captured the 'stroller' there at the front, which you dont notice until you look a little closer.
Smile; it makes people wonder what you have been up to.

Nice symmetry and beautiful blue. Was it a self portrait?

Thank you gentlemen,

no it's not a self portrait, the dragon rowers turned up just as I was peering longingly through the wire mesh, and I walked confidently in after them.

It's an amazing structure when you get close to it, and really look at it. David Moore, lovely man, photographed it as it was being builft.

Today I walked along Harris Street north from Miller and then followed the harbour around. It would be well worth doing that in the early morning too.

It's all new apartment blocks and a new view on the bridge. I live on the other side and that's how I've always seen it.

There are more bridge pics on my flickr account, too.

Incidentally taken with the Canon kit lens, which I think you can see is not up to the Nikon lens. But also shot somewhere between 1600 and 6400, then given the 'autocolor' action on PS.
