BRIDGE OVER RIVER AT CATTERICK

Photographers Comments
MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT HDR

I'm no expert at this HDR stuff as I'm still learning. But as for the image I like the composition and the way that the river takes your eye into the image but then stops at the bridge. You do seem to have lost some detail in the middle of that bridge which is a shame as it is the main subject within the image.

Hi Barry thanks for the comments.I took this photo hand held so probably wasn't as sharp as it would have been if I had used a tripod.
Cheers

Agree with Ogofmole's comments.

There's something about the colours in the bottom left corner that's a little off putting and isn't easy on the eyes.
Perhaps it's just my aging eyes

True as Barry said you have lost some detail in the bridge.
That said I like the image because upon first glance I would have not said this was HDR. Many HDR shots are blatently apparent for artistic reasons and can work well. The other end of the spectrum is the subtle application which merely enhances a beautiful scene. The colour and the composition are both very striking and it looks like a picture postcard shot.
Apart from the detail crit this is a very nice shot indeed.

Robin, for a 1st attempt you have done well. They say practice makes perfect....pls keep at it... I may have to pick your brains one day

Thanks for all your comments.Quite pleased though as it was my first attempt. As claire said practise makes perfect.
Cheers
Robin

apart from all of the above, this is indeed a lovely image. vibrant and colourful, just what we need on a rainy day :-)
