Criticism will be greatly appreciated. :)
 
All IMO (of course):

Third one is cool because I like thre perspective of the bridge angling out into the distance, also the support beams are spaced really well in the angle of the shot.

I like the 4th one because of the "feel." Kinda of a secret bridge to nowhere. Just go with it.

The last one is fantastic because of the tones. I like b&w though. Did you use the camera or software to do the b&w?

Cheers.
 
Thanks for the critique. :D
The b&w was done with software. Although my camera can take B&W, I forgot to shot it while I was there.
Plus, the software provides a softer look.
 
Nice. The spider is a "golden silk spider", Nephila clavipes, in case you didn't know.

I like the B&W version best, but that may just be because I find the redish-brown water sort of disturbing. (I know reddish soil isn't uncommon, I just don't see it much here in Illinois.) I'm not sure I personally like the softening that your software did, though I can certainly see the appeal. I'd be curious what it would look like if you just pulled out the green channel and used that for the grayscale...
 
The water in that first shot looks alot like the water I flushed down the toilet last night. :D Good pics BTW.

Here's way more information on that topic than you could possibly want. Basically, it comes from iron-rich ("rusty") sedimentary rock that then dissolves from the soil into the river. I remember being really surprised by the red soil when I spent some time in the Washington, D.C. area. It's apparently pretty common in the southeast.
 
All rivers are like that here. The Mississippi River is as brown as poop. :D

The sediments in water from deteriorating plantlife causes most of the brackish water. And from all of the sediments picked up from up north. That's why the oil industry is big here.
I do love the crystal clear rivers found elsewhere, but these have thier own beauty.

Thanks for all the imput.

Cool, I didn't know that. I always called them Banana Spiders. Which is what everybody calls them around here. Thanks HPK. :)
 
i like the black and white one, but it seems too bright. work on the exposure and i think that would be a sweet shot.
