I love the patterns being formed by the bamboos there and that precarious walk. Nicely compsoed shot. Good documentary value

Hello Bill,
The trick is not to tense up but to follow the rhythm. Now the weight and center of gravity is on the upper body. Maybe the concern look is more about not to drop the Nikon :). Good selective focus around Alfred. Check your e-mail for my message & contact numbers. Best Regards. Latiff.

Hello Bill
Such concentration. Your photo well conveys his fear to all who take time to look at it. A good advertisement for Nikon. TFS, Marlene

Hello Bill!
I love such adventures... everything to get a good picture, right?!
So, here, you've got a very good photograph using this search for a good image! It looks very natural (the care the man is taking to go across that bridge) and all the geometrical patterns around him, plus excellent light management, colors and sharpness!
TFS - Congratulations!
Have a great Week-End!

Bonjour Bill
Belle photo; J'aime bien la profondeur de champ et la lumière qui vient sur le personnage. A sa place je ne serai pas très tranquille avec mon Nikon autour du cou.
Bravo.

Surely, it is not for me, even if I can sometimes be quite adventurous! Anyway, it is an excellent document about how people can feel in such circumstances. Well done.

The bridge makes a dramatic and powerful composition to enclose your subject, Bill. Your intrepid photographer subject is nicely sharp and well placed in the frame. Regards Kevin

Hello Bill,

A most engaging photo, complemented by a succinct but informative note! Your subject's bright outfit highlights the image well. I imagine, in taking this photograph, you are already off the bridge.

Warm regards,

A great shot at the spur of that moment Bill! I can see without your pointing it how tight he is holding on to the rail. I find it a little scary myself.

Hello Bill. Nice to see an architect testing the strength and stability of this unique architecture :-). I like the look of concentration in the face with the slingshot and D80 around the neck. The light catching on the right place making this an interesting image. Well done and best regards. Jusni

Bonjour Bill.
J'aime beaucoup le graphisme de ce pont. Le photographe doit être plus à l'aise avec un appareil photo qu'avec un tel pont.

Hello Bill,
For this bridge of bamboo, I do not know if I would go through, the feeling of emptiness at your feet should be impressive.
Excellent camptura with great dynamism and graphics. Well done.
Best regards,
Charo

Hi, Bill. Walking on such a bamboo bridge mustn't be that easy and I can understand your friend's prudence when crossing it. The bridge structure is graphically very interesting with all those lines pointing downwards to the trekker. There is a good contrast between his clothes and the neutral tones of the surrounding. The adventurous mood is well conveyed.
Have a nice day,
Philippe

Hello Bill,

This is an amazing situation, captured well with all possible horrible consequences written in his face!
The simplicity in composition tells the story well, maybe I miss a glimpse of the frightening below...
Fine storytelling!

Hi Bill,

You caught the worried expression of Alfred very well when he was crossing the bamboo bridge. I would probably feel the same way if I was in the same situation. The details and colors of the scenery are clear and precise. The colors are enhanced by the quality of the light. Have a nice day.

Hi Bill excellent idea! Impressive infrequent and very difficult the passage!Nicely composed shot!Good shot with nice POV all pictures!I believe that it resembles with the bridge of education of soldiers, or the named bridge of ape! A picture that gives the size of difficulty but also the wish to want to pass him?

Hi Bill,
very impressive picture, it must be thrilling to walk there. I like this shallow DOF and light, they make the bridge look longer.
well done!

Hello, Bill!
very nice compositon. I like pattern of the bridge fence, which makes the perspective very deep and dynamic. Good idea to put there a man, which shows us, that crossing it is not that easy!

I wish I had been with you, I love these kinds of bridges and of course, the jungle surrounding it !
Poor guy, he seems indeed not very reassured...
Amusing and awakening good memories for me, thank you !
(Bidayuh tribe : relatives of the Iban people who I visited regularly with my sophisticated French tourists in the early 90s : quite a job to make them feel at ease in such atmosphere, but great fun too at some points !)
