Re: Palm Bridge

Wow. That's the trouble with choice! When I first saw this I went to the sky as the colours drew me in; then the larger set of steps and only after I read all the comments did I think about the steps on the right. Saw them, just did not follow them as I had been around the photo. Like it for what it is - an interesting shot. But.....

My eyes want to go along both sets of steps but I like it

Re: Palm Bridge

Excellent Ian, great scene

Re: Palm Bridge

I like the scene and I like the processing but the composition with two sets of steps I find confusing as I don't know which lead-in to use and my eye flits between them without really entering the picture

Cheers,

See what John means, I got lead by the left to the top but strayed to the right and came back down! if you know what I mean. good on the legs!

Re: Palm Bridge

Wow, and I couldn't get away from the weird fog around the palms! I assume that is from the HDR processing?

thanks, no its the soft glow used in colour efex

Re: Palm Bridge

like the processing on this one

I think with the two lots of steps you effectivly have two shots but neither work individually as well as both in the same frame

Agree with Stan

Re: Palm Bridge

I hadn't really taken much notice of the steps on the right...........until John's comment. Now of course, my eye keeps going to them.
Still a very nice shot and much better on Flickr.

Re: Palm Bridge

cheers John and thanks for the feedback - I didn't get confused with the lead in's with this shot, but interested to hear if others find it confusing, but thanks anyway John

taken just before the sunset shot and using the steps to lead in ... I think without the sunset it works with the different angle and the clouds that were around.. ??
