    Nothing wrong with 2 mb as long as you don't want to make 16" X 24" prints!

        Nothing to be concerned about, Lourens is a South African Boy as am I, I called him on his "bridge" but told him it was a good pic none the less.

          Hi Byrt,

          As per the rules, it is one entry per ID only, so are you wanting this to replace your other shot?

          You can enter any shots you feel is an interpretation of the theme, so if you were worried about it not meeting the criteria, then dont, it is your interpretation that matters.

          Cheers,
          Ben

            Taken in April this year (just!), some of the Tyne bridges.
            I was nearly under the Tyne Bridge, looking towards firstly the red and white hydraulic Swing Bridge, then the High Level Bridge, with the white Metro Bridge in the background.

              Better late than never? This was taken while walking through the Cleveland, Ohio Zoo with my grandson. The bridge has since been condemned and is being replaced.



              The picture was taken with the Olympus C-770.

                Before you read the results, I prepared the following in Word with hyperlinks to all the photographs, but after copying and pasting here all the links have gone, and everytime I try to insert them within this, I can't find this message again. Sorry, but you will have to find your own way to the pictures - unless anyone would like to help me out and insert the links.



                Thank you all for making this such an interesting salon. We have had 27 entries.
                I am not sure whether this is a record, but it certainly gave me quite a task selecting the winner.

                In the end I decided to download all of them and view them in Adobe Bridge. This was certainly easier than having to scroll through 4 pages.

                I then selected the photographs by:

                Meeting the Criteria
                Exposure
                Composition
                Presentation/technical
                Punch – what I like

                Each rating had a maximum of 5 points making a total of 25.

                By being objective, it did help me to
                Select the winner,
                The two runners up and
                Three members that I felt deserved special mentions.

                So … … IN REVERSE ORDER … …

                I would like to mention those who did not quite make it but had very good entries - they came joint 4th.

                Josh Bear for "Across the Thames"


                Tom for The Gateshead Millenium Bridge


                Pol for "The Bridge of Specs across the Bridge of Nose"




                Third place goes
                TO BEARFACE FOR HIS
                SCENE FROM VENICE


                Second place goes
                TO ARCHANGEL FOR
                THE BRIDGE OF RIO-ANTIRIO


                And Finally

                THE WINNER IS

                STEPHEN
                FOR HIS STUNNING PICTURE OF
                RAINBOW BRIDGE LAKE POWELL UTAH


                I have to say this picture had everything for me, correct exposure, composition, colour and presentation; it also appeared to be unadulterated. I just loved its natural beauty.

                Congratulations Stephen

                It is now your turn to be Curator and I look forward to the new theme.

                        Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No 7

                        Well thanks Audrey, I am, frankly, suprised my photo won, and I nearly used a 'more conventional bridge' photo.

                        I think you used a pretty good system to arrive at your decision too, there were too many this time simply to scroll through and make a subjective choice so well done, also congrats to George and Tim.

                        Will try and get a new theme up today
                        Stephen

                            Thank you Carol

                            That is exactly what I wanted. I had it in "Word" where I first wrote the result, however, the links nor the formatting did not copy and paste.

                            Everyone time I tried to add it to my post, I went to the picture to get the url and couldn't find the post again.

                            I gave it up as a bad job.

                            Thanks again.

                            Audrey

                            I have now entered these urls into my post, so that people can see the winners immediately. Thanks
                            Audrey
