Nice photo and works well in BW. It really conveys the bleakness of this estuary. Did you take any pictures of the bridge. I think it's a really beautiful structure.

Hi Fred,

From my view as an amateur I really like the angle you have found. Converting to B & W has really made it stand out.

Great.

Thanks for the comments, I tried to darken the blues in the B&W conversion and used curves to adjust the contrast

Hi Fred,

This picture - not for comment it's rubbish - was taken on the day the Severn Bridge closed 12 years ago with the big storm.

I had a flashy camera in my boot which I was looking after for a friend and as you can see had no idea how to use it:

I thought this one might have made me money because under the bridge was this guy fishing oblivious to the countries dilemma:

Once again the picture is worse than useless so ideas of making money went out of the window!

Regards

Chris
