I really like this in the black and white! I feel it really suits this scene! I like the placement of the bridge and it's reflection on the water, the three ducks bring life as well as further interest to this scene, the sky is fantastic with beautiful cloud detail. This is well photographed with good sharp focus, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, the black and white shows good tonal variations . Well composed and presented!

Ansel Adams lives! OST beautiful black and white. The perspective, focus, balance, so many stunning tones and lastly, the ducks. I love this rich photo.

Comment from supergold
a great and appropriate entry to the b&w contest ; I like the long old bridge and the sharp focus from front to back;

just a suggestion: try to translate it by 180° on the horizontal axis: t would be more pleasant for the eye to follow the bridge fading in a distance, from left to right

Comment from Christine Rohr
I love this black and white photo. The bridge looks like it extends for ever. The architectural detail of the arches providing the repetitive imagery is fabulous. I think using black and white was a fabulous choice. That the ducks are there adds a little visual interest but the photo would have been fine without them.

Thank you

Comment from Artistic Chick
Nice black and white photo. This has an almost fish eye effect. There is a tunneling of the clouds as they get smaller with the bridge. The ducks are seen after I see the center point. They are in the darker part of the water, unaffected by the reflection. It actually just adds some contrast to that area of the photo. Great job.

A very nicely composed scene that looks great in black and white. The image is sharp and the black and white has a complete range of tones. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from ArtistCharles
Beautiful image showing great depth of field. The B&W works very well and has good tonality. Very dramatic sky. While the ducks are probably the least important part of the image they do add a nice touch and help fill the lower left corner with something of interest. Well done. Good luck in the contest.
