Description
This past weekend, my family and I decided to take Josh on a day trip to Vancouver BC (Canada) and we visited the Capilano suspension bridge. We were on our way back over the bridge to the gift shop and I decided that I wanted a perspective photo of the bridge. Josh had already started walking over it, so I took the photo with him, thinking I could always edit him out if I needed to. Best thing was that when I looked at the photo, I found that it was much better with him in it than without. I scaled it to grey, boosted the whites and darkened the blacks a bit, and added negative space to enhance the visible area. I'm happy- mostly because Josh likes it.

Really? Hehe a few other people have mentioned that too, and I guess in some cases, I can see it. But you can't always make everyone happy, right? I appreciate the honesty very much, and thank you for the kind comment.

no i agree u cant make everyone happy, and it doesnt mean its not a brilliant picture, because it is! Great composition and effect, i just felt it was a little over worked, maybe too bright and too dark

Hehe no problem. I toned it down slightly in the print and the print sizes available made it necessary for me to change the aspect ratio a bit, so it looks slightly different. Hopefully it turns out well anyways.

Wow. Now this is just great. I don't know why I didn't see this before. The perspective, the light, the subject - it's all fantastic. It seems like a very mature photograph.

Oh, thank you! Josh and I are always so amused to find that so many people like this photo- he's conjectured that he obviously only looks good in photos when he's not looking at the camera and when he's unaware of the picture being taken.

This is great! A great choice for Black and white!
Beautiful

Oh wow, gorgeous shot. I love the serene atmosphere it radiates. Great idea to put it in b/w and to make a negative space. Really beautiful.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it enough to give it a fave. I've had fun with this one.

Great shot, it's very symbolic, which i like a lot. Only suggestion would be to use a thick white border instead of black, i think then it would look symmetrical. Oh and if you ever get to go there again, i think you should take another photo but this time with the sun behind you. I've always been fan of looking at photos with the same exact subject but from a differnt angle
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe we'll see if that happens, but I doubt it. It's a fair drive from here, and if I did, it's unlikely that Josh would be with me at the same time. Still, it's a good idea. Thanks.
I tried white, but it was... odd-looking, to say the least. The white just looked dull, and the photo was extremely lacking. Unfortunate, but the black adds a nice negative space for an empty kind of atmosphere.

Oh alrite, yeah on second thoughts adding a white border would ruin that little piece of white in the photo. Good thinking

Hehe I always try out both colors. It's easiest to make a decision.

Yeah that's true, experimenting is the key

Beautiful work. I really like the strong contrast, especially how the bridge..thing sort of fades into the light, it looks awesome. I do feel that there's just a little too much negative space though - just a little, on the sides. But apart from that, nice shot

Thank you very much! I know what you mean about the negative space, but I don't really feel like changing it now. I'm just really lazy.

Totally looks like a movie poster. Wonderful symmetry, and the way you tweaked the shot works great.

I like this picture a lot.. for it can have several different meanins/perspectives behind it.... which i like a lot. it may mean something to me.. but something totally different to someone else.. .. i like this picture because to me it feels lonely... and just dark... i really like it.
