The Palladian Bridge, a photo from Northamptonshire, England

Photographer's Note

Further to my self imposed task set yesterday, here is my second image for the week from Stowe Landscape Gardens.

This image shows the Palladian Bridge, from afar; the WS features some of the undergrowth in the same location !

I like the way you used the foliage to frame this bridge, so green. Great dof with nice details. Wonderful colors. Well done, tfs.

Hi Martin - You managed to get some warmth and life into your shot despite the dull overcast weather. I like the framing with twig and leaf and your use of DOF. I am scratching through my Stowe shots to add to the theme. Best regards Rosemary

Hello Martin,
I do not remember this particular POV of the bridge. Perhaps you were crawling along the river bank! The colours are lovely with just a hint of approaching autumn. The composition is excellent with the layers of vegetation, fence, folly and trees. The FG branches frame the picture very well. A lovely memory of an excellent TE day!
Best wishes to you all,
Ann

Hi Martin,

This is a clever shot, I really get the sense of you peeking through the bushes here to get it. As others have said you have framed very well using the surrounding foliage. Great colours and nice light too. I really like the fence and path running across the image, great depth, very well done. Thanks for sharing.

Regards,
James
