US / Mexican Border Photo

Photographer’s Note

Taken with one foot in the USA to the left, & the other, in Mexico, to the right. The town of Juarez is south of the border. This bridge straddles the Rio Grande River. The bridge is covered in barbed wire, at the back, & sides, to deter illegal immigration.

ciao Chris,
foto particolare al confine fra i due stati.
Manca forse un po' di sharp per renderla più viva, ma lo scopo divulgazione è riuscito.
un saluto
maurizio

Hello Chris,
Good documentary image. Good use of depth of field to lift the boundary marker from the rather busy background.

Hi Chris,

The diagonal line of the bridge is an asset to the composition. The point of view is showing with precision the details of the sign about the border. The subject is well frame. The light is enhancing the colors. have a nice day.

Hello Chris,
cette fameuse frontière que tant de gens veulent pâsser dans un sens ou dans l'autre suivant les motivations, pas toujours très claires ni honnêtes.
Une ligne bien symbolisée ici.
Regards.
Daniel.
