What a lovely little bridge and interesting story about it. Your POV and Depth of field are just right. With the row of flowers in the background, it does not appear to be a place for homeless. In this image it is very appealing and lovely.

A great image of his serene park setting. Good DOF and a perfect vantage point. Great frame, color and light.

A very pleasing photo of this stone bridge and its reflection in the water. Gives the impression of an eye in the center of the photo. Nice shot, well composed and presented. The story about the homeless sounds all too familiar. Tried to help a lady recently on a cold night by buying her a meal but she just wanted money for alcohol and refused the meal. So sad when people get to that point. Thanks for sharing this neat photo.

A simple little bridge but a really neat shot. Like the sunny day, reflection on the water, focused and framed. The area looks so clean and well kept.

I very pretty stone bridge it is Mary. Love the colors in it, makes for a great reflection in the water. Is there a reason why you cropped it so low? Just wondering what is in the b/g, I see some flowers and am thinking it would accentuate the bridge more with a more vertical crop? Just a personal preference. It's still a lovely bridge and your focus is spot on as is exposure and dof:)

Thanks Wendy it was quit close to road with parked cars and traffic hence cropping this way ☺

Unfortunately, I've found from experience that just because the laws are passed, it doesn't always fix the problem. Now comes the enforcement part. Let me know how things progress!

This is a nice shot. The angle is really nice and the reflection is good. I like that you put the bridge at the top of the picture. Very eye-catching. It really draws focus to the bridge. Nice cropping. I never would have known it.

Thanks for your positive feedback I agree when they pass these laws they just move the problem to a different area. Not sure what the fix would be but they are trying to build affordable places for homeless and some of the city car parks are converted to shelters overnight for a safe area to sleep.

What a shame that such a lovely place should be spoiled by inconsiderate people. I like the angle you used for this, showing the clear reflection of the little bridge in the still water.

Lighting and focus very good. Very nice composition. Suzanne
