Nope.
Great play with lines and textures. Well composed too!
The contrast between order and disorder hits it on the nailhead Wade. This picture is a delight to look at, and enlightening as well.
Many contrasts, in fact, as stated:
- brightness, black/white
- texture
- order/disorder
- light and shadow / directional lighting
- ...
Very nice set of three images from your trip across the Ohio and back home. I continue to be amazed by what you're achieving with the iPad!
Back in Cape Girardeau MO today, flu shot, and Tetanus booster, so I drove to the main Mississippi River bridge, grey flat skies, yuck, I have a lot of images of this bridge including a commercial shot taken many years ago for hire by the bridge construction company. They wanted pics of old and new before they demolished the old bridge, here is the commercial shot: https://wadedowdy.zenfolio.com/img/s/v-2/p609076265-4.jpg. Taken in 2004 with D70 and 24mm prime if I recall. Fun fact, that was my last commercial construction photo gig. Very good $$$$. Oh well, Time flies.
And my iPad shot today, with the SEMO University River campus fine arts building in the view. Opted for color since the grass was still pretty green.

Thanks, did a little iPad tilting to get the diagonals correct.
Thanks, I love textures and contrasts, especially with BW images Chris.
Yes, something simple outside the home may end up being a favorite.
One advantage, less gear to carry around, and much easier to upload to the cafe.
Nice shot of both the building and bridge.
It's quite different today! Your commercial image makes it look like an undeveloped location. Now with the building and the lawn, it looks quite civilized. Cool!
Very cool that you have your own photographic history of this location. Thanks for sharing the original and the current.
Yes, the area was completely revamped and the new building built about 50 yards behind my shot 15 years ago. Current location and rail tracks are gone with new campus building.
It looks like stylized water. Very refreshing.
Cool (sic) shot!
I love bridges as well, Wade. And when I first looked at your shot, I thought to myself "boy, that took some courage". But you ended up with a beautiful shot. It is not off-center enough to disturb anyone, IMO.
Great use of hyped contrast to bring out the texture of the flags and rocks, and very nice composition. A real winner, Wade!
Nice piece of modernism, Wade. And I loved seeing the older B&W. Thanks.
I lived in Louisville for four years, and never got down to the Paducah area. But I did use the bridges to Indiana and Cincinnati quite frequently. Only time I ever really lived "on the border," so to speak. A little different, going to a different state to your doctor.
Whatever it is, it is striking. I thought liquid at first, but it seems to curve away at the bottom, so now I am completely stumped.
Thanks folks, it is a large ceramic flower pot from our porch, image over in bucket area. https://www.nikoncafe.com/threads/2019-octoberfest-bucket.318680/page-8#post-4049534
