Under Clifton Bridge

I had to pop out today on my lunch. So, I took the opportunity to walk along a part of the River Trent nearby. This place isn't a particularly scenic part of the river, but there is Clifton Bridge and its interesting lines.

I took quite a few photos and it took me a while to choose my favourite. First, I couldn't decide whether I preferred colour or black and white; second, I couldn't choose between the photo here or this one I have posted on my Flickr page ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/vikdaddy/5346834389/). Even now I look at the two and I'm not sure, but the consensus was when I asked my other half and my brother that this was a more interesting perspective.

I spend so long deliberating over which photo to choose sometimes. Often - like today - I spend longer on this than I do on editing my photos. Sometimes only selecting one photo a day is so difficult!

Canon 7D, f/8, 1/30, ISO-200

Nice shot. I would like to get a wide angle lens. The 10-20mm probly. WHat do you use?

[Vikdaddy]

@wolfe canon 10-22mm - it's awesome.

[Wolfe]

@vikdaddy Yup, my next investment haha

[Judith]

Wow, amazing lines!

[Lynn M. Watson]

Lines and reflections are fabulous!

[Megs]

I like this one best, I love the lines. Other shot is nice as well though.

[andy c]

nice lines... almost wavy

[celly]

wow! love your work!

[MattyB]

Great shapes.....i'd have to agree with celly, I love your work also. Even your lamp shot looks awesome and I'm sure it's something that gets overlooked by most people (the actual lamp in your house....not the picture).

[Suelbiz]

I always love your photos. I prefer this one, too. Beautiful!

[Rachael]

This is a great perspective. Really different. I think you made the right choice.

[Constance Brinkley]

Great shots. I love them both and it would be hard to choose. Each has an element that I like. Great shots. They are favs...

[Richard Tyson]

Super shot, love the lines and reflections, also the grafitti and the colour. Really great!

[Rebbecca Castillo]

This is fantastic Vik- great perspective, but I think I prefer the other shot. I think it is because in the other the road leads my eye into the shot and the bridge leads my eye across the shot :) Either way, they are both wonderful- I can see why you had difficulty choosing!

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Super shot, Vik. Love the curvy lines and tones. Nice!!

[Graham Harcombe]

Why am I always the odd one out. I like the one on Flickr! One is landscape and one is more a study in lines and shapes. Two good shots - it's a good job we're all different.

[Teresa (pocketmouse)]

This is a great shot - I love the clarity! The one on flickr is nice too!

[Jeph Otos]

vik, i think you made a good choice.

i think the other perspective would be awesome for a LE night shot though.

[Sarah C]

Love this one, too! Think you made the right choice :)

[Hee]

Love this one....the symmetry create by the bridge and its reflection is beautiful. Nice capture!

[Katie Conner]

I love this shot! I also prefer this one, the dirt road doesn't do too much for me in the other shot.

I love all your work, btw!

[Rebbecca Castillo]

@ellida I picked the other one as well Graham, so you are not completely the odd duck out! Must be great minds think alike :D

[sarahb]

neat angles

[Aaron L]

yea nice Vik, defo made the right choice between the two and I hear you on selecting pics, I spend longer editing them if anything. I was gonna say i have to get one of these lense but not £500+ quid, woah! Think I'll wait a while. :)

[Jennifer B.]

Nice lines. I do like this one better, too. Interesting perspective.

[Megs]

beautiful curves

[Big Mac]

oh wow!!! i can't describe how pretty this picture is.,...

[martyjk]

Great shot, liking

this...... alot.

[Rudi Teruel]

what a shot... way too cool... love it...

[Steve Harvey]

they are both great shots vik. I like the lines in this one a lot.

[Brad Johnson]

Beautiful. Love the perspective.

[Heather (pixelchix)]

love the lines in this, and the processing is just right.

[Karen Hofmann]

Wow, fantastic! The lines are just amazing!

[Cynthia C.]

Beautiful! I love the lines and the perspective. The other pic is great to, but I prefer this one.

[Amanda]

Amazing composition! I love the lines and the reflection in the water!

[Denise Breimeir]

This is INSANELY perfect!

[Nikki Ramirez]

Love it. It's a great lens!

[Dragonfly Explorer ( Rhoiz )]

Great Perspective. nice shot!

[Araminta]

Cool perspective and colours, we moved from Nott's recently, your pics do it justice!

[elio sales]

Muito bonita a foto, com profundidade de campo.

[Jess N]
