Wooden Bridge, a photo from Gandaki, West

Photographer's Note

When I did the trek of Annapurna Circuit, I hardly seen any wooden bridge left. But you still can see little one or not so high bridge. Sometimes you can see both bridges ( wooden and metal one ) side by side.

The one I posted is the bridge just off Dhikur Pokhari. A great short cut with more pleasant walk and better view to go to Upper Pisang.

Bridges is another thing that we face almost everyday. When we walked, we're constantly walking on the valley, crossing from one side to another. When the gorge was really deep, I'm glad it's a metal and brand new bridge.

Hello Artesia,
This is a lovely rural scene. It's great that you managed to capture someone on the bridge, and the placement of the bridge in the frame is perfect. I also like the blue water and the mountain scenery. I can almost inhale the fresh air from looking at your photo. :-)

Hello artesia,
A fine view of the traditional construction, brought in its wider environment. The trekker gives scale and a lively element.

Hello Artesia,
How is it possible that only three people before me have commented on this beautiful picture? TE isn't fair! :-)
Really, it's a very good composition of the old wooden brige going diagonally across the picture, with one person on each side, the incredibly blue water running under it and in the background a scenery that makes me breathless. The picture also shows very well the interesting construction of the bridge. Light and colours are perfect.
Thanks for sharing,
Gert

Dear Antesia

Your picture forced me to click it, I like tracking in Nepal, but at the moment I do not have the time to do it. You really composed your picture perfectly with the bridge and the trekker. Sharpness and DOF are fine, but I think there is a blueish hue. I have posted a WS to show you what I mean.

Otherwise you have done well, in particular your note is well written.

Best regards

Hi Artesia,
quelle belle vue et quelle profondeur dans ce paysage.
La couleur du torrent nous donne presque envie de se baigner, mais ca doit être froid !!!
Encore bravo pour ton cliché.

Hi Artesia,
Nice shot, it has something special that I can't explain,only to see. What a beautiful landscape! But this bridge...,it doesn't bring you much safety,doesn't it? The trekker gives dimension to the landscape. But certanly I'm asking my self about the strange color of the river..
Best wishes,
Sonsoles

Hi Artesia

I have seen your entire compositions, it is very rich.
I like it here with this wooden bridge and the water color, a true marvel.
randoneur gives the scale your composition is very important in a photograph.
Good evening, thank you for sharing.
