Covered Bridge - Which One?

[jmurphy]

Just curious which one of these everyone else thinks is best. I personally like number 1. I like how it's slightly grungy and rough feeling.

#2 the light seems lil too harsh... #1 and 3 are definately great.

I like 3 the best with a little more tweaking. I would level the light part a bit (the end of the bridge) and also try to put the diagonal(s) in the corner.

I like 3 the best. Mostly for the composition..... especially since you're down low. The arched beam on the right is well anchored in the frame, and it's curvature is mirrored on the left. It also helps you made it B&W as this emphasizes the form & structure of the bridge. This is a classic case of B&W is better. Just my humble rantings.

#1 on your flikr site is really nice. The grungy look fits well with the scene. Each pic has something to offer. There is so much to do with B&W or Sepia.

is it me or is the horizon slanted? I think the shot has plenty to offer, like Schwetty said, play with getting the crop right. #3 with a little more effort wins.

Well since there isnt a horizon it must be you Trever.

Thanks for all the feedback. I've visited this bridge many times and each time it seems my pictures get a little bit better.

Here's #1 cropped a little and turned into black & white.

#1 - I like the shadows and the colors best here.
