Shot a couple of weeks ago at a local park of mine here in P.a. I just got set up, took this shot, and it started to downpour. I was only able to grab a few shots then me and the 10D were back in the car. Any and all comments are most welcome and appreciated!!

Thanks much,
robert..........

I'm only saying this because I've seen a lot of your stuff on NPN and I know what you're capable of.

This doesn't work for me. I don't feel the bridge adds anything to the shot. Perhaps if it were an open bridge and had some nice patterns in the side rails.

In this case, I'd rather see more stream.

Hi Rob

The scene I think.. and I am no expert :roll: could be very interesting in the Fall for sure.

As you have shoot it I think the crop off the top to cut the bridge to a triangle (cut down the corner on the right side) will add to the lines of the scene. I find the blocked corner distracting some.

You say it poured rain just after?I may now sound completely off the wall but I would have stayed and got the rain peltering down and the dripping off the bridge into the water below. I carry the big green garbage bags in my outfit just in case.

Nice color contrasts, but I'm afraid I agree with Dan here.

Doug, you totally have the ticket here. Rain drops in the water and dripping off the bridge would be awesome. Add to that, the saturation of the trees and bridge would significantly increase.

Personally I like it. It would be better if it were one of those old classic covered bridges but for what it is, it's well executed.

I agree with the above comments. I just know this scene has soooo much potential.
Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap, but memories are priceless.
