Over the Bridge
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 9 January 2009 in Cityscape & Urban.
Not as dramatic as the last few, this was taken in a small village in Gloucester
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

A lovely street scene in this picturesque place. The tones are smooth and silky.

Pretty shot, love the layering.
Sorry about the big ben, so it's the westminster parliamentary building?

@JamesC: Thanks James, and don't worry about it! :) Technically, Big Ben is the bell in the tower attached to the parlimentary buildings in London, the tower itself is called St Stephens Tower! You learn something new every day! :)
@Zing: Thanks Zing
Luca Bobbiesi from Milano, Italy
A bridge without protections? It looks like pretty dangerous, great shot, I loke it

@Luca Bobbiesi: The rivers about 2 foot below, and its about 8 inches deep. I don't think there's any danger of drowning, and rails would spoil the ambience
zahai from Berlin, Germany
Nice street scene. Bit of a shame that the woman's head is hidden by the tree branch. Do you happen to have a shot of 5 seconds earlier? :)

@zahai: Thanks Zahai, unfortunately not; I've got one taken about 1 second later, which is even worse! :)
@Ana Lúcia: Thanks Ana Lucia
@Elena Kotrotsou: Thanks Elena
Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom
There is a retro feeling to this . . I take it is Bourton-on-the-Water ? If so, those little bridges don't feel as hazardous as they look.

@Ronnie 2¢: Sounds about right Ronnie, I'm rubbish at names, I need to start taking a notebook out with me! :)

EYES WIDE SHUT from The library of my soul, United Kingdom
Wonderful quality and detail, Dave and an interesting scene. Branches over faces is actually a style I sometgimes shoot myself, as I often desire either body language or a feeling that the person is not the central focus of the shot I'm taking, so I rather like this

@EYES WIDE SHUT: Thanks Eyes
@Naigoran: Thanks Naigoran

A delightful image Dave, not typically English, but more of a continental feel to the place.
