Ironbridge

Some of my Ironbridge shots which I couldn't post recently due to the first one being entered for the competition:-

Ohh there are a lot of pictures here to comment on. I like the second and fifth pictures the best out of the ones that you have posted. The post production that has been applied on the second shot really makes it stand out and gives the impression of it being an old photograph. Great tone!!

The fifth shot works so well as you have used the bank of the river and the wall to lead your eyes into the bridge as the focal point. Good choice of F stop has maintained a good DOF and the picture is detailed without being cluttered. Again I would like to see this shot treated to the same post production as the second shot.

It’s a shame about the wire running straight across the top of the last picture as there is something about this bright, highly saturated shot that draws my attention.

Thanks for the comments Steve. Glad you like the 2nd and 5th. Along with the 7th and last, they are my favourites. :)

I hate the wire in the last picture though. It's really tough to get rid of :(

I like the one with the wire through it, very striking, you chopped the horses feet off!

Not really keen on bridges/architecture, its not something ive ever really understood, i like the steps leading up shot an the row of cottages though, pleasing

Oh yer, not sure why I did that. Must have seemed like a good idea at the time.
