Photographer's Note

Snape is a small village in the English county of Suffolk, on the River Alde close to Aldeburgh. It has about 600 inhabitants. Snape is now best known for Snape Maltings, no longer in commercial use, but converted into a tourist centre together with a concert hall that hosts the major part of the annual Aldeburgh Festival. Also, Severus Snape, of the Harry Potter books, was named after the village.Info Wiki

Hi Iain,
A perfect "eye" on this bridge reflection, and the river got a "pumpkin-soup" colors...
Fine take, great light in compo.

Hello Iain,
The bridge and its golden reflection taken together makes a wonderful frame for the blue white. Superb colour contrasts and excellent sharpness.

Hi Iain
a clever and quite beautiful composition. Love the warm colours of the bridge which make the blue of the boat all the more outstanding. The blurred reflection on the water is so effective. A well observed and perfectly executed image.

Have a great week - regards Brian

Hi Iain

Those colours are wonderful, like a watercolour. It's luminous and the reflections are beautifully captured.

Hi Iain,
immagine ben eseguita dal gusto artistico.
Mi piace il riflesso dell'arco del ponte sull'acqua, formando una specie di occhio e la barca in BG che rende dinamica la scena.

Well done!
Francesco

Hi Iain
A clever idea to frame the scene with the bridge and its reflection in warm tones. The river scene is very pleasant and the color is excellent but the framing makes the photo special with splendid touch of blue and white. Gorgeous picture, Congrats
Best regards

Angshu (56760) 2011-07-20 21:51

Hello Iain
A simple picture but the crop works well. The blue boat is a strong focal point through the 'eye' & a good colour contrast with the brick colour as well. Well done!
With Regards
Angshu

Hello Iain,

How do you always find me before I do. Thank you for the comment.
The image above is very nicely framed as always. I like the brick texture fills the upper part of the image. and then comes the beautiful arch and the reflection on the water. The blue boat on the other side of the bridge puts a nice focal point to the image. Black framing is nicely taking part of the entire image. Presentation is superb.

Very best regards,
Nobu.

macjake (98518) 2011-07-23 23:24

Hi Iain
this is one of those structures that are simple made for photographers! People like us are drawn right to them like bees to honey :)
I really like the cut/composition you chose, closing in on the bridge deck and filling the entire top of the frame with the bright brick. elegant lighting, charming subject, and rich reflections.
all around great!
cheers

This is a great composition!

Soft reflection, lines and colour are all well presented!

Compliments!

stevenmelissa (203) 2011-09-02 9:24

Hi Iain, what a nice composition. I enjoy this photo on a number of levels: the warm colors and satisfying subject matter, but also its abstract design element with the lens-shaped arch and reflection.
