Nice in black and white! Without colors the composition is great and the depth of field works great! Perfect white balance. A lot of details. Good luck in the contest! ! !

Cool,Brian!
Amsterdam!
A fascinating city indeed!
I'll probably never get there again but at least I can 'groove on' fine looking pictures of the place like this interesting scene hat you've presented us with! : )
'Good Show',my friend!

It has indeed been framed Brian, and I especially like how the ripples in the water are reflected underneath the bridge. This is also a photo looking great in black and white. You have brought out a lovely shine in the water, and the bicycle on the top of the bridge adds interest.

The photo is nice and sharp with clear and well defined details, and the exposure is perfect with good distinctions between light and dark.

Your POV was really good, and the tight cropping has worked so well. The arch of the bridge has got a very good placement within the frame. Indeed a great looking and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Nice Black and White rendering , this shows excellent tonal variations, I love the arch and the detail in its brick construction, I can see three modes of transportation in this image, the bicycle, the boat and the car in the background. This must have been an amazing ride on the boat. Your focus is spot on, the image is clear, exposure is well managed. This is well composed and very interesting to view! Well presented! Best wishes to you in the contest!

A good entry for It's been framed and a good contender. Your vertical framing work well as does your black and white. A good tonal range throughout your scene. Good differentiation and contrast making your black and white a perfect choice. Such an artistic composition with the bike on the bridge and a shot through the bridge.
I like how the light on the water with those reflections draws us into your scene. Very well photographed with a good depth of field. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing. Good luck in the contest!

Very good entry for the contest. I like the angle you used for this shot looking through the arch on the canal. Excellent lighting and focus showing a nice clear image. The use of black and white adds to the impact of this view. Very good composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Brian,
A beautiful view from the canal in Amsterdam looking through one o the many bridges over it. the water with light dancing on it's surface reflected on the underside of the bridge, through it small boats tide up to the bank & just a "Few" of the many Bicycles also parked on a stand & two cars parked beside the houses. Beautiful sun filled composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera & editing techniques & sharp focus.
Susan
