I can't ever seem to resist this kind of bridge shot, but I usually get dinged for them. Please share opinions, crops, edits, suggestions as you see fit.

Maybe it's a little busy, but nature is like that. I think it's a gorgeous shot. I love the lines and colors and the "little people" are perfect. Download rocks.

Thanks, I'm glad you found the positives outweighed the Busy! I see the "busy" and plead guilty as always. I try to cram everything in the composition. I make myself take simplified shots but I never like them much.

I am glad someone else likes the angle. I do this with bridges all the time, and some of them just don't work. Glad you thought this one did!

Thanks for the comments, Piet, the colors were wonderful in Ontario this fall, could not have had better leaves. I would have liked some better skies but we can't have everything!

Yep its the normal bridge shot min but just a damn site better than most could aspire too simply because of your processing skills. A n explanation of "busy" would be nice cos even with a different crop how does one simplify an abundance of Autumn color and all the intricacies and different shades of a wooden bridge. Its just what the eye would see and your restrained computer work has made it about perfect.

Fantastic image
Getting dinged? for what?
Maybe shooting from a lower angle, showing the beginning of the bridge and limiting some of the tree tops and sky would appease the dings.

Minnie, in photographs, bridges are sort of "vertical". I think portrait format would do well with these subjects, unless being photographed from the side. That would minimize the "busy ness" of the scene. However, it's a wonderful photo, well exposed, sharp focus, and good depth of field.

So far not a single ding. I can't imagine dinging this. It is absolutely beautiful. It would be absolutely beautiful without the little family walking up the trail but they make the shot by adding the human element, a little family enjoying one of the last strolls of fall before winter. Mangles suggested Maaaaaaaybe a crop from the top. If I scroll it to just nip off the sky it retains all the brilliant color, plus moves the family off center, so maybe improving the composition. If I'd made it I think I'd do that, but I didn't make it! There is nothing wrong with it as it stands.

Thank you Billy. I feel like it's kinda trite but I can't seem to quit shooting these, I need a more original approach, and do try some experiments but haven't found one that ends up as balanced as this.
I have found when shooting foliage that I can't let my PP programs run wild, as they are wont to do.

I think because I use this composition too much (like every time I find an old bridge).
I wish I'd got some shots from lower, with the Little People. They got away from me too fast. If I'd had the presence of mind, I would have taken some lower and just moved the Little People, who look like they'd be easily portable.
Thanks, for your ideas, which I agree with.
