Pierre-Olivier, I agree with Henri. Very moody.

Chuckcars · 03/09/08, 01:32 AM

Very striking. I like where you placed the building spire.

Pierre-Olivier,
Very nicely caught. What makes this photo work for me is the placement of the people on the bridge, how they are spread out, even in what directions they are facing...it's a small street scene amidst a beautiful and unique backdrop.

Fantastic graphic picture!

vertekijker · 03/09/08, 02:33 AM

The silhouettes are like those pictures cut out from black paper. Beautiful against the warm sky.

michali · 03/09/08, 07:32 AM

Pierre-Olivier- I agree. Fantastic photograph! One of the best I've seen here recently.

Jonathan, I have many others shots of this bridge ( which is quite famous in Mandalay), but the placement of the people on the bridge as described in your comments is exactly the reason why I decided to choose this specific shot.
I have quite happy with this shot but the "extra" was given by the "small street scene".
Thank you for your comments
Pierre-Olivier

Thank you Ivan. I just replied to Wilfredo in another post that I do appreciate when members of the forum are coming with their ideas or other ways to treat my shots. For me this is real value in terms of advices and knowledge. From time to time I was adding frames to my shots but was not always satisfied by the results. I have seen many cases in this forum when the framing was adding somehing to the shot itself; The way you did it gives something "extra" to this shot. Well done indeed !

John, Wilfredo, Mike, Vertekijker, Gunnar, Chuckcars, Martin and Doc Henry thank you all for your nice comments and support for this shot.
I am glad to know you liked it.

Just playing a bit with cropping tighter. Hope you don't mind.

I like the original better. If you want to remove the building (I would not, it gives perspective)
cloning would be better.

Another stunner, but I must say that my favourite is still image no.2 in your previous posting, a similar one to this shot, but no.2 with those fantastic watery reflections does it for me!....Gerald

Pierre-Olivier -

I'm glad you got to U Bein Bridge to see the sunset - Fabulous place, and your photo does it justice.

imiges · 03/10/08, 07:44 AM

I like this shot very much!
Thanks for sharing!
