Photographer's Note
A different bridge then the arts bridge
Leopold-Sedar-Senghor bridge, formerly Solferino bridge is a pedestrian bridge located in Paris 7th district and across the Seine.
It was built between 1997 and 1999, renamed in 2006 the name of the poet and African president.
I photographed the lower access.

IMPORTANT NOTE
I want to thank the Treker member who advise me about an error.
Following my visit to Paris, August 15, I mixed my notes and I attributed this photo to Pont des Arts, in reality it is the Passerelle Leopold-Sedar-Senghor.
Sorry for this mistake

Hello Didi,
A different and unusual sort of image from you. It has strong graphical lines and is well exposed. The figure, which is a key element in the composition, is well placed and adds a nice splash of colour.

Ciao Didi,
Diversa dalle tue solite, questa é veramente una gran foto, con un punto di vista stupendo che esalta la figura dell'uomo che sale le scale come volesse raggiungere il cielo.
Complimenti e buon WE.

La longueur des escaliers donne de la profondeur à la composition. La présence de la personne a un effet d'échelle de grandeur. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs de l,architecture du pont. Bonne soirée.

Vision originale des dessous du pont des Arts. La version large est mieux équilibrée au niveau luminosité, est-ce TE qui accentue les contrastes?

Bonjour Didi,
the interaction of all the curvy, diagonal and horizontal lines as well as the dynamism of the perspectives is fascinating. You've chosen an excellent upward point of view to offer us a little known but very interesting aspect of the bridge. The man moving towards the opening and having only the luminous sky as backdrop, offers a delightful plastic movement that also expresses his individuality. I love the sharpness, the apt light management and the great tonal range you've captured in the shade. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania

hello Didi,
Bravo pour cette vue en perspective que l'on peut interpréter de plusieurs façons sur le plan de la symbolique.
Formidable graphisme egalement avec les marches et les structures du pont.
Bien sûr le "sportif" en bleu vient heureusement introduire de l'humain dans le decor dont il donne aussi l'échelle.
Beau travail de maîtrise de la lumière.
Du très bon boulot qu'il nous fait là comme d'hab!
Cordialement.

The fine combination of straight lines and curves makes for a very pleasing composition and the man in the bright blue shirt is placed perfectly in the frame to complement it. Lovely lighting, perfect exposure and stunning details and sharpness.
Excellent!

Bonsoir, cher ami Didi,
la perspective de ce bas point de vue est magnifique, et nous offre une bonne profondeur d'image, avec l'homme et son tee-shirt bleu qui se détachent sur le ciel bleu, dans un contrôle excellent du contre-jour. Cette référence humaine aide à valoriser la puissance graphique de la belle architecture du pont.
Un beau travail.
Avec mes amitiés,

Hello Didi! Excellent townscape photo. The framing is excellently chosen, the colors are also very well controlled, bright and darker at the same time.
The deep depth of field is integral in joining the bridges with the foreground allowing to see all the nice details. Very well composed by placing the small steps in the lower corner and showing the front pedestrian crossing. I like it!

Bonjour Didi,
I like very much the perspective of this photo, The stairs, the railing, that lead us in toward the opening up to the sky, and we follow the direction of the runner up and beyond, I also love the blue of his shirt complementing the softer blue of the sky.
Excllent management of the difficult light.

Hello Didi,
My compliments for the light management, that
is excellent. Also great are the point of
view (makes the picture exciting) and compostion
and this picture will tell the viewer a story
(it keeps the viewer in it's grip).
A nice option is this picture in B&W.

Salam Didi,
As they say in Turkey when something is perfect "Four-for-Four." So it is in this first rate composition. You timed it perfectly to get the stroller at the top of the curved bridge, isolating him completely against the sky.
Warm regards my friend,

Bonjour Didi,
Belle composition avec la structure graphique du pont encadrant à merveille l'ouverture dans laquelle se trouve le promeneur.
Excellent contraste entre le bleu du ciel ainsi que du T-Shirt et le gris du pont situé dans l'ombre.
La version N&B n'a pas le même impact au niveau des couleurs, mais elle rend très bien l'idée de l'homme qui sort de l'ombre pour aller vers l'infini.
Bonne semaine.
Marie-Louise.

Bonsoir Didi,

Hello Didi,
I like how this image is symmetrical, but not exactly, which adds interest. The lines and curves are great, and so is the subject with clothes that match the colours of the sky. A fine work!
With best wishes,
