Atop the Bridge by taffy

Atop the Bridge

A different take for this week's theme for bridges. The foreground shows the parking garage and train track area that runs under Millennium Park in Chicago. The heavy concrete railing is a car bridge that runs in front of the Harris Center for the Performing Arts and is the upper level of Randolph Street. The performing arts building is at the northern end of Millennium and where companies like Hubbard Street Dance perform.
Thank you for sending my Urban Canyon at Sunset to PP today. You helped me see it in a different light!

Fabulous light Taffy, nice architectural shot! I have been playing about with this on my iPad (sat in the eye hospital at the moment) and aim wondering about a cropped panorama type image just of that beautiful building as I like the inside.

I love the building Taffy with that gorgeous warm light - I agree with Elaine @elaine55 I think a tighter crop would be great!! The bridge itself looks quite ugly in front of the beautiful building. A great mixture of different types of architecture.

Cool shot

Great composition - you have captured the detail on the building so well

The light and the glass patterns are the star of this show. I think the street light on the right edge could be cropped out or toned down.

Wonderful light and colours.

@rvwalker Thanks Ross. Just followed your suggestion and this it is improved by doing so. I appreciate the critique as always.

@elaine55 I gave it a try, working to keep things in balanced, and this is what I ended up with: http://www.flickr.com/photos/taffyraphael/13267700104/. How does that compare to what you had in mind? Were you thinking of only the building? That ended up looking like this (and I didn't think worked as well as those with some context): http://www.flickr.com/photos/taffyraphael/13267687733/

I like the shot I faved on Flickr the best Taffy, and thanks for doing that. Having been in the Camera Club for a couple of years I am looking at photography in a new way as the judges often show us how a crop of a photo can make a difference.
