Critique Welcomed That Same Bridge Again

[Brian Moore]

Another shot of the Aurora Avenue Bridge in Seattle. This time from the other side.

Olympus XA with Fomapan 400 film.

Brian, are you doing your own development and scanning?

 

[Ralph Turner]

Very striking image, Brian. Superb. Quite 'unbridgelike' and abstract, yet you can easily see what it is.

Brian, are you doing your own development and scanning?

Yes Gary. I use Rodinal as a developer and an Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner. This particular image, however, is a digital manipulation (Ps and Lr) of the original image. What I mean by that is that I have done more to it than simple adjustments such as sharpening, contrast, etc.

Thank you, Ralph. Much appreciated.

It has a somewhat threatening snake-like countenance, Brian, with the snake head at the top. I can almost see the snake’s eyes. [What was in that drink I just had?!]

And here I was thinking you were tea-total all this time!

snake-like countenance

More than a snake it reminds me of a Notonecta abdomen.
