Great use of lines. An infinity type shot. Do you have a color version of this one? I think color would have added some life to this shot.

That's a really sweet shot. And it works well in black & white.

The bridge's wooden slats in the foreground, however, are fairly blown-out. Was the detail there in the original?

I prefer the B&W because it's more serene to me, I think that the bridge actually stands out more in that one. Just my 2 cents.

Love the picture, a preference to the b/w, seems to have a smoother flow than the color but then again I also like the red contrast. I do enjoy the line up, just slightly off center on this end and still leading to centered on the other side.

I prefer the b&w also. The colors almost seem overwhelming to me. I like how the bridge just disappears into the trees. Makes you wonder what is at the end.
