Downtown, a photo from Florida, Sud

Photographer's Note

Downtown Jacksonville is the urban center of Northeast Florida, and is situated about 25 miles south of the Georgia border. Centered on the banks of the St. Johns River, Jacksonville is one of the five largest populated cities on the East Coast.
The St. Johns River marinas are full of boaters from all over. Downtown is the place to be on the river, with docking on both sides of the river for a great view of the city.

Hi Milena,
I understand what caught your eye here. This "blue" bridge is definitely a nice subject. A few remarks though : in my opinion, this post in the foreground interferes with the reading of the picture. Changing POV could be a solution here. Besides there's not much going on in the bit on the right. Again, I think it could be dealt with quite easily. Even though there seem to be a strong light source coming in from the left...And last, the focus is not on the bridge. That's too bad coz' it's what you wanted to show. For this kind of shot you definitely want to use a tripod (which, from looking at the exifs wasn't the case) and a long exposure time....

All the best,

Philippe

so, that´s jacksonville, did not quite make it there in april, just the south of florida, remembers me
that i saw one of the cities great musicians 2 weeks ago => Fred Durst with his band Limp Bizkit, great
concert. your photo on the other hand, could have been great too - the blue bridge and the reflections
on the light on the water given an idea, but as phil already metioned the pole in the foreground which
even looks flashed, is a little distracting, and for 1/4 you should use a tripod or something (like the pole) to put the camera on. best wishes & take care, thor.
