[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was browsing though my archives for quite another purpose a few days ago and ran across this shot taken quite some while ago. I liked what I saw so decided to retrieve it and share it with my TE friends. The Rosedale Agassiz bridge was built about 50 years ago replacing a relic of a ferry system. I travel across this bridge a few times each week as it is only about 5 minutes from my home. I had just gotten my D80 so was busy experimenting. I now notice I should have used a much higher f stop.

Beautiful burnished colour. Quiet luminosity. Creates a mood like a 19th century English painting.

Hi Gerald, very good shot of this bridge of yours. The composition from this vantage point is very good, capturing the bridge, the country behind it and water with that great reflection very effectively. The bush on the left gives us some great natural framing on this side. Your colour is good, and you have great sharp texture seen throughout. For the most part your depth of field is very good, a smaller aperture might have given you some more detail in the background, but this looks pretty good as is.

Thanks, John

Hi Gerald
Wonderful colors wonderful reflection and wonderful work complete
Awsome image

Cheers,Braca

Bonjour Gerald
wonderful composition with great perspective
excellent sharpness and colours
my compliments

G'day Gerald!
Keep looking through those archives, mate: you may find a few more gems like this one!
Not too much wrong with the aperture, by the way.

Best wishes,
Jeff

Hi Gerald,
A strong perspective here taken in really great light. A nice warm toning which suits the picture well against that dark blue water...i like it.

hio gerald
Well composed in wonderful light. Your perspective is well chosen and there is good depth and a beautiful reflection.

Even with f5 you have got plenty of depth and the image doesn't suffer. I love the strong perspective which is doubled thanks to the reflection. The trees framing the left work well in the composition too. Good work

This is a great example of how to use converging lines in a photo. The angle of the bridge makes all the lines converge toward the centre, and naturally draws our eyes there. Great lighting too, and a beautiful shot!

Hi Gerald!
Nice shot, and we are lucky you found it and are sharing it now. The fraser looks so calm and tranquille here. The reflection is wonderful, and the perspective of the bridge really works great. Nice one! cheers,
Steve

Hi Gerald,
The line from the bridge reflection brings nice depth as it is wonderfully complimented by the blue sky. The golden colors are very clear with excellent sharpness and details to this autumn beauty.

Hi Gerald!

Wow, what an impressive photo! Bridges is one my favorite subjects (maybe because i studied civil engineering before journalism)and this is one of the most spectacular shot of the kind. Great framing and composition, perfect perspective and reflection, beautiful colours, great contrast between the warm brown tones of the bridge and the blue sky! Congratulations!

Jolis reflets dans cette eau calme.

Wonderful light and angle, I'm surprised to see autumnal tones in mid september, maybe the late light help to enhance the warm colors.

Hi Gerald,

The colors of this photograph are sumptuous, I like much. The visual angle is judiciously selected with the vegetable part on the left what balances the image well. The bridge gives a good depth to the image. I appreciate also clearness, in particular in the reflection. It is very pleasant to look at, Gerald cheer.

With all my friendships and very good Sunday,

Jean-Charles.

Hi Gerald
Wonderful colours and reflections in this beautiful composition. I like your POV, how you framed it and managed the light
Have a nice Sunday
Aires

Hello Gerald,

There is very good symmetry in this image. Your perspective of this bridge is very effective to show dynamic lines. The colours and details are enhanced by the good light. I find this type of bridge structure very appealing. Nice work Gerald.

Hi Gerald,
This is a really beautiful capture of the bridge. I like the warm hue of the sunlight on the construction a lot, just as the reflection in the calm lake. Great inclusion of the tree on the left and the autumnal colours of the background look nice too. Thanks for sharing!

Lars
