I set myself the challenge of entering this competition each month this year to make sure that I pick up my camera more often, so here is my entry this month:

Good man, good start, keep it up

P.S. it's not necessary to take and post the image in the same month, that contest faded away, but if it spurs you on to use your camera more then go for it.

My previous pic was probably too tenuous a link to the subject, so here's a full pic of the bridge.

February already eh - who'd have thought!?

Been at this for an hour and have a shortlist Of 10!

Time for a cuppa...

Right - here goes!

First off thanks and well done to all who entered. Great turnout and an amazing standard Let's try and keep it going for future months

There were so many great shots that I couldn't just restrict it to a top three, so the following are COMMENDED (in no particular order):

New York Brooklyn Bridge by djsmith46, on Flickr

- one of my early favorites, maybe could have stood a touch longer exposure? Great shot anyway

viaduct by -robinecs-

- I'm a sucker for star trails and this is a beauty! Maybe could have tried a bit of light painting on the side of the bridge to lighten it a bit?

- Rob, it's only a little one but it's cute

Love the symmetry in the composition and the lights through the mist in the distance. Superb



Oh and PS - could all those with thumbsnap accounts please get onto Flickr or 500px or something! Thumbsnap is making your fantastic pictures look soft (at least to my eye). Cheers
