[edit] Alexandra Bridge
One of the only things I haven't accomplished in my time on Wikipedia is a featured picture. Going through my contributions, I feel this is one of my best. It's a clear picture that well illustrates the subject, and I think it's a well composed shot with the greenery adding a nice border along the bottom. Do others feel this might be FPC worthy? One problem is that there was enough haze that day to make the buildings in the distance not as clear as they could be.

Well, I'm no expert, but I figure some comments are better than none: I think it's a very nice framing of the bridge. The lighting is only average, however; and as you note it's hazy in the background. A circular polarizing filter would bring out the blue in the sky. It seems a little noisy at the higher resolution. Taken during the Golden hour you might get better lighting and interesting reflections. As for composition, while I like the church spire in the background, the high rise buildings are boring and ubiquitious. A nighttime shot (if the bridge is well lit) or a foggy day might reduce the plainness of the background. I'm ambivalent about the greenery in the foreground; it makes the image different, yes, but it's fairly plain greenery. If it were flowers blooming it might be amazing. I think I'm bothered by the stalks being cut off... maybe if it were just a bit more lush. The nice lines of the trusses are polluted somewhat by the white boats in the behind them; I'm not sure how I would avoid that at this angle, and it's a good angle. I do think it's a promising bridge to photograph.--Fletcher (talk) 17:24, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
