Critique Welcomed The Aurora Avenue Bridge

[Brian Moore]

Here is another "digital manipulation" (aka colorized--er,...colourized--in Ps).

This is the Aurora Avenue Bridge in Seattle, Washington. I used an Olympus XA2 with Fomapan 400 film. I've included the original image for comparison.

Nice one, Brian. I like the warmth of the colourised version.

I have spent some time browsing (surfing and turfing) through your site. You have some great photos, I especially like your wonderful architectural shots, but also many of the colour shots.

The b/w version of this photograph is very interesting to my eyes, but the colour version is more striking and dreamlike.

I can only dream of taking such meaningful photos.

Thank you, Gianluca. I keep meaning to update my site. Nevertheless I am delighted that you enjoyed some of my photos. Much appreciated!

dreamlike

I love it that you see it that way. Thanks again.

I like both, but the colour version is more arresting. I was struck by the incongruity of the two guys paddling into the future from an ancient past. What terrifying wonders they will discover!

What terrifying wonders they will discover!

Social media and the rise of the 24 hour news cycle.

I like both, but the colour version is more arresting.

Thanks Rob!
