The composition is a bit cluttered, since everything is in focus I'm not sure if we are looking at the tree or the bridge or both.

If tree, then using a larger aperture would help make it the subject

If bridge then either cropping out the tree or moving to the right

Otherwise, nice colours, the mood is quite serene

I love the colours in this shot, but do agree with Hitkaisers comments. There is too much to look at. I find myself wishing you had framed slightly to the right. The clouds are great and the two traingle supports on the bridge give the impression of the clouds sinking into the middle.

Gosh those are beautiful colors, I wish I could see more of that bridge. Cropping is definitely the way to go because to me the colors, bridge, and water is where the "heart" of the photo is.

Really like that shimmer in the water, too.

Thanks for your replies

That bridge has great potential for photography. I agree with other comments made so far. If there were a way you could isolate the bridge with that great sky, the shot would be much better.

It looks like part of the old Grace Bridge is still visible.

Thanks I have tons of bridge pics of THE BRIDGE. So does most of Charleston. I was looking for different views of it. I have got great sky in other straight on shots. I guess what I am trying more for is a Jim Booth type.
Thanks


Random this is all that remains of the old bridges and they are taking it apart piece by piece instead of blowing it up due to it's location! It is on the Charleston side near the port terminal and the Seabreeze Marina
