Photographer’s Note
This is the second of a number of images which I will be posting of a walk round Grassington in the Yorkshire Dales.
This image is of the bridge over the River Wharfe at Grassington.
This bridge actually rises slightly as it matches the gradient of the hill - this can be seen in a clearer manner on the alternate view I have posted as Workshop.

Well found PoV, setting this attractive bridge off against the rocky river course. Great light for it too. Nice job.

Quite a strong brigde it seems; looks old too. I agree with above; your pov is good. I can see the river slowly disapearing underneath the bridge. Good colours and sharpness. Thanks for sharing.

'evening Stephen!
I have to say I'm very pleased with this composition - Wharfe is low enough to reveal beautiful rocks that are now sunbathing (until first heavier rain).
I also like the way the trees on the left cover this end of the bridge. Another thing that I like is that with your low POV you enables us to see underneath the bridge and enjoy the scenery even further.

I like the angle, a foreground (again) which is very nice. Good weather makes a good light and colours, it's happier:-))'

Nice shot of an intersting piece of architecture. Good framing and DoF.

This is a very pleasant view of this bridge, Stephen. The rock in the left foreground really adds a sense of depth to the image and makes the whole more dramatic and accessible. Composition works very nicely in this regard.

Very sharp and colorful. I like how the point of view makes use of the gradient of the bridge. It seems to create a false perspective making the bridge seem even larger and longer than it really is. Your other point of view clearly shows how just a slight change can cause such differences, as this excellen optical illusion. The boulder and perspective of the shore line add even more to the feel so there is a lot of drama to it, for me, with all these perspective lines linking up. Everything seems to be larger than it really may be. Very good job, Stephen.
