Hello Abmdsudi, the light was perfect for the result that you wanted.
The light on the water with the reflections gives a golden glow.
The three different sized arches add further interest, as do the people walking over the bridge.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hello Abmdsudi,
It is a really elegant bridge with a gentle slope, emphasises by the white railing as well. This railing also adds a great colour contrast with the warm tones of the arches and their reflections in the small ripples. The light was wonderful as well.

Hello Abmdsudi,

You waited for the correct light, when the arch reflections were extending perfectly into the water, so that three ellipses, of decreasing size, were visible under the bridge, almost like an Impressionist painting.
It is perfectly exposed, with a very romantic mood.

My warm regards,
Bev 😊

Hello Abmdsudi,

A nice memory for me. I went there in January 2000. I like the flattened perspective from the zoom and the superb reflections of all 3 arches of the bg bridge. Tfs!

Hello Abmdsudi.
This bridge is an architectural beauty, with its ascending curve and the arches that are increasing in size, the reflection and color in the river make them stand out more, the balustrade also very beautiful.
Very nice coloring, which together with good sharpness and optimal lighting, gives great quality to the image.
Well done. I like very much
You have a good day.
Very best regards
Luis.
