Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

On my walk in Freedom Park. Kinda abstract in some ways. The Tone and Vibe of this bridge with the reflection caught my attention. So I took a few images for fun. I really like the reflection of the stone.

Specific Feedback

Not a perfect image the way I framed it but I caught my vision. The water distorted the image and gave it a different tone and fresh look. Not much editing !!!

Technical Details

ISO 800 F 18 Shutter 400 edit in Photoshop Mostly dodge and burn tools. Some contrast changes. shot with my fixed lens 1979. My favorite lens that I own.

Very cool, Gill. I like the reflections a lot. If you get another chance at this, I think framing it with the water line at the top of the image and just the reflection of the bridge and background would also look really cool.

Thanks. That would be pretty cool. The water that day had a real clear mirror look to it. I went back the other day and it was not the same. So get what you can cause you never know about the future.

I’m really enjoying these images of Freedom Park. This one is quite abstract. I like the strong blacks, but for me, just a little too blocky, but it suits the image.

I am wishing for just a tad more bridge on top, just to show the row of voussoirs.

Thanks. I posted the other image a few day ago to give more perspective of the day. I just saw the trees in the BG a little stronger and how the water distorted the image so I took the shot closer. As I age (74) I try to capture an image that makes me feel something differently. I ask the question. Does any one else at the park see how this looks. It’s so cool we all see things out in the world. For me it’s creating an image and write music for it. That’s the goal now. Both as one. :folded_hands::globe_showing_americas::camera_with_flash::folded_hands:

Wonderful and crazy!! The reflection of the bridge is very cool and then I go under it to the reflection of the trees and I’m going “WHAAAATT…” Very well done. Like @Glenys_Passier, I could beg for just a tiny bit more canvas on the top edge.

Hope to see more from this spot!! That could be a great series!

Thanks. Just a fun image to keep the eyes guessing. A good Thanksgiving to you and everyone. :folded_hands::globe_showing_americas::folded_hands:
