Default Practicing Perspective, Line & Composition

With the intention of copying an image I saw in a Photo Journal emphasising perspective, I shot this footbridge in Salford, Manchester, England in an attempt to demonstrate the three concepts above.

Salford Quay Bridge

This is an exceptional image Paul. You definitely have got it all in this one, and more as other members have suggested (repeating patterns, etc). I need to get back to DPS more often. Too bad work gets in the way.
