Your composing is wonderful here. No mistakes.

Colin this is the underside of the Mendota Bridge, taken from Ft Snelling State Park (Where quite a few of Shirley's deer pictures were taken) - here is some history if you are interested:http://www.johnweeks.com/bridges/pages/mn01.html.

Of course I carefully studied the shot Shirley for days, waiting for the perfect light - this challenge provided the perfect opportunity to trip the shutter :-) Actually, I did take a bit more time than normal to compose this shot for the challenge. The pipes are on the underside of the bridge - probably used for power and communication.

I love the way you composed this shot. It seems to attract the eye in a new way. I'm very drawn to the 2 pipes that run the length of the shot. Do you know what they are for? You really took you time (or like me get lucky sometimes) to have that vertical beam land right in the middle if the double Xs like it was a part of that beam. Enough said, this is great.

The bold shapes gives a real sense of the substantial chunk of engineering
