Hi Tom,
Wonderfull capture ; very nice pov and great compo. This is better than your former entry from the same spot, as you can see here more of the covering of the bridge.
Fascinating colors and good light management.
TFS and best regards

Wonderfully done, Tom!
Those colors are just superb, I love the tree framing the foreground and the bridge being offset to the left. Beautiful light and shadow, excellent detail, perfect contrast. This is a fabulous shot! Thanks and take good care,

Hi Tom,
This is a beautiful image of Vermont and it has all of the elements of this gorgeous state. Excellent composition of arranging the two icons of Vermont; the covered bridge and your beautiful deciduous trees. You always do such a superb job of showing us the beauty of the Northeastern USA. A lovely and stunning image!

Perfect pov, color, lighting and shadows. TFS

Hi tom,
I like it. That large tree in the foreground is extending itself everywhere but to see the covered bridge just beyond is actually quite effect. Good eye and TFS. Gerald

Tom,
This is a great capture of this colorful bridge. The weather was much better for you when you took this shot than it was when I shot the Gilpin's Falls bridge, posted recently. The angle of the shot is great giving the scene nice depth and detail. The tree frames the bridge nicely.
TFS,

Hello Tom,

The red facade of bridge house is very attractive. Shadow of naked tree branches are creating beautiful textures on snowy field. Your way easily recognizable for adding splendid sky and forest. Congratulations.

Friendly Regards,

Hi Tom
What wonderful colour here. This is a covered bridge at its best. I would like to make this into a B&W just for the fun of it.

Hi Tom, the covered bridge and the tree are very good placed, the light is superb controlled, the blue sky adds superb background.
Have a nice time.

hello Tom,
one more reminder for me to try and explore Vermont more this summer, these bright red bridges must look great among the green trees.
as usual, I like a lot how you have composed the photo with the tree in the foreground creating a great sense of depth and the strong diagonal of the road with the bridge nicely leading the eye throught the shot. very nice work.

with kind regards,
Kristine

hello tom

a nice portrait of this typical bridge. usually i see them done in full fall colors, but this one is nice too with the snowy foreground and the naked tree texture in the front.

warm regards,
kristaps

Hi Tom
It's a very nice colorful bridge. Beautiful capture with splendid contrasts of these colors. The tree on the right was well placed for better framing of the picture. Beautiful textures and details of this tree's trunk. Well done, Regards. Consuelo

Hello Tom,

The tree in the f/g, with its wonderful shadows, is perfectly placed off-centre and acts as a lead in to the bridge. The eyes just cannot resist travelling the length of that brightly coloured bridge (pretending they are going through it!), to reach the woods at the other side.

Superb light and colours!

kind regards,
Bev :-)

Bonsoir,
belle photo de ce pont couvert que je n' ai vu qu' une seul fois, au Canada, jolies couleurs et beauté de ces arbres nombreux.
Ces arbres a l' avant avec leurs ombres dans cette neige sont de toute beauté et ajoute un plus a votre belle photo.

Amitiés Thomas

Hello Tom
I like the point of view for that red covered bridge. The tree is well located in the picture. The white snow and the blue sky are great. Great distribution of light and very good details.
Best regards
Denis!

Ola Tom ,
Esta ponte vermelha e muito bonita faz um grande contraste com a paisagem branca em volta , as sombras da árvore me primeiro plano estão fantásticas, parabéns!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Hi Tom,
Good shot of the bridge, i was thinking maybe you could move a little to the left taking this shot, but then you will be hitting the sun directly. The POV is just right but my eye is leading me to the tree instead of the bridge IMHO. btw, your previous post of the same bridge is excellent.

Thanks for sharing.
Miguel
