The packhorse bridge.....  by quietpurplehaze

The packhorse bridge.....

...........at Bradford-on-Avon
really like this in black and white Hazel. the depth of black under the bridge and the river bank really intensifies the light on the water

Aah !! this is good Hazel --you have captured great depth, sharpness and clarity in the b /w image Lovely composition from your pov with great shadows and reflections---an instant fav

B&W really focus attention on the subject of the bridge and less on the traffic. Is/was that a toll gate on the bridge?
I like the reflections too great job all round

Super B & W Hazel.

That's a 'lock-up' slightly left of centre on the bridge. (The white van behind it is a nuisance but I felt it not worth cloning it out - or was too lazy! Might have to do it now I've written it down!!!)

Strange to say that before I decided to do this mono month in an album, I didn't even like b&W! Now I see its virtues. So far these are all converted from colour shots which I understand is the preferred way to get b&w photos.

Karen, you are very kind, as ever - in fact I prefer this in b&w conversion rather than the original colour.

Lovely detail - the architecture really suits b@w.
