Shot With Olympus E-Series using 14-42mm lens. The first of a series of three, this is a really old condemned railway bridge near my house. After playing with the image in Photoshop to highlight the maintainance ladder this was the final result. Please note that between each of the girders is a 75ft drop hence my capture angle. As always opinions appreciated thank you very much for commenting in advance.

Very interesting photo you have here. I'm not a big fan of B\W photos but this is pretty cool. I would like to see this in color. Good Job on this!!

I like a lot of things about this photo. The bridge is an excellent subject, and the grass growing up through it makes it even more interesting. Technically this is a fine job, the depth-of-field is sufficient to make everything sharp, which I think is appropriate here.

The trick of leaving only a small part of the photo in color is perhaps overused - although I've used it myself - and seems to work best when the photographer wants to demand that the viewer's attention be drawn to a particular element within the image. Not sure it's needed here. Also I think the half sky / half bridge ratio should be tipped more toward the bridge.

Hope you find these comments interesting or useful, and that you continue to shoot and upload.

Nice shot, I think the colour left in the ladders works well, love the grass pushing throught the girders.
