  3. Uh! The sky color is terrible ... It seems that there comes a storm but the man that is above, perhaps jogging, it makes you think that it's over is, a hope.

    Very good photo.

    Greetings!

  9. You captured a fleeting moment - excellent work. And, the dramatic sky looks in B&W to maybe threaten rain - or, maybe it was blue sky with wispy clouds, but you certainly captured a dramatic mood. Lastly, The lines from the railing and the support beams are great in that they lead the eye and frame the subject.

  10. Very complex interactions with the structured (the horizontal bridge deck, the vertical fence, and diagonal cables) and the unstructured (runner and the clouds). Bravo!

  13. Nice choice for monochrome! I've just started converting some of my images to mono and am thinking about what makes a good b&w image. Shapes, lines, and values.

  18. Oh, Julie - I wish it was me you captured there - jogging on the bridge - I really need it after all the cristmasfood......

    ...Ok - it is salad tomorrow - and a long walk with my husband and my camera ;)

    Happy new ear for you and your dear ones :)

  19. The strong lines work well in B&W ... cloudy skies everywhere at the moment ... dense fog up a Katoomba this morning.

  20. I've said before and I'll say it again, this is your new career. There's so much energy in your work, J, everything seems to be vibrating, really phenomenal.

  21. Happy New Year!
    Sorry for the tardy greetings - I'm on holidays! Far from the computer....
    ...and doing lots of swimming, naturally!

  23. I like this in b/w, and with beautiful composition and all the "lines".

  24. He looks lonely up there among the steel and concrete. Beautiful lines and nuances of grey.

    ReplyDelete
  25. The black and white composition, the hard lines of the bridge all captured the effort of that runner, but without words. Great photo.

    ReplyDelete
  26. He's so small against the enormity of the architecture surrounding him - such a lonely sport indeed!

    ReplyDelete
  27. This is a very nice shot Julie... Overwhelming the size of the bridge and the relative insignificance of the runner. It looks so over-engineereed....

    ReplyDelete
  28. Oh, yes i like your picture very much. The huge bridge and the small man running.
    Thanks för your comment!

  29. I like this. All the lines, the grey sky and the jogger on the bridge. Great captured!

  30. A honey of a photo, Julie. The human up there gives it a special resonance for the likes of me.

  31. This is really good! One of my favorite this week:-)
    Wish you a Happy New Year!

  32. I love this photo a lot. I have a weakness for structures, shapes, angles and lines. The beautiful clouds and the sun shining on the parapet completes the picture.

  33. Lots of strong lines and an interesting angle. Good shot.

    And, a Happy New year to you....

  36. Great contrasts and lines in this picture! I just wish that the runner would have been a little bit closer to the banister.
