Light Under the Bridge, a photo from British Columbia, Western

Photographer's Note

Here again is the False Creek area in downtown Vancouver.

This was taken in the early morning Blue Hour. I've been here so many times, but never thought to include the bridge in the same frame. I'll never make that mistake again!

Have a great weekend everyone!
Cheers

Hi Craig,
just when I think that you cannot surprise me anymore, you do. I admire the excellent reflection here it is very impressive. The bridge is a new motif in your photos I believe. It introduces a different light temperature and an attractive geometric shape.
Excellent composition and perfect blue hour timing!
Another master work.

Good Morning Craig,

You have composed this blue hour shot very well.

The sky colour and its reflection onto the water coupled with the bridge and building is very good.

Thank you for sharing.

Regards,
Pranil

Hi Craig

Great compo which draws the eye by the "V" shape towards the center of your shot. It feels very balanced with the sky and water being split by the architecture. Your blue hour colours are stunning as well. Great contrasts with all the blue and yellow tones. Lovely reflections too. This photo is a splendid offereing to the eye.

Hello Craig
You found a good pov from which the bridge and its reflection induced a strong perspective effect.
I like the contrast between the orange and blue tones and the smart framing.
Well seen!
Cheers

Hi Craig,

Beautiful composition!!! I love the colors. I think I was on this bridge when I visited Vancouver long time ago.

Thanks for sharing.

delpeoples (60342) 2010-04-20 1:27

Hi Craig, what can I say? This is a kick-ass photo, one of your best for sure. The cobalt tones, the symmetry, light management and sharpness are of such a high standard it makes me sick :p All joking aside, congratulations, I wish I could give you constructive criticism, but I can't. Have a good week, and keep shooting these beauties, Lisa

phwall (6787) 2010-04-20 23:55

Oh yeah I like this one a lot.
Light on the right and dark on the left, nicely composed. The sun must not have been too far from peeking over the horizon.
I'm surprised you weren't tempted to lift the bottom crop line just enough to cut off that cleat sticking into the bottom of frame.
Fabulous work, wonderful capture.
Regards
Peter
