Extra Info:
A view from a high vantage point of the bridge over the Severn from England into Wales. The rain was coming over from Wales and had not yet reached this side but was half way across the bridge. This particular bridge is about 2 miles long and the closest part was about 3 miles from my vantage point.

Ahh, the old Severn Bridge! I took one of my all time favourite B+W's of this bridge from the Aust services many years ago. I never realised the bridge curved so much though. One of my favourites.

Love the way the bridge is half in sun and half in shade. Very attractive shot. Id have straightened the verticals personally (at least the two closest to the left edge) but that's just a personal quirk. Some people are bothered by this (me), some don't care, and some think straightening optical distortion makes shots look unnatural. Easy TT.

Great angle and lighting giving a well balanced photo. Of course the rain was coming from Wales.... we were trying to clear it so we could take some pics in the dry! ;-) but what a shot because of it! Got to be one of my favourites, good luck.

Talk about being in the right place at the right time! The sunlit bridge really stands out against the dark, rainy background and makes the shot special. In my Top Five.

Such a hard job trying to work out if this is straight or not because of the curve of the bridge. I think the tower in the foreground isn't quite vertical so I'm gonna go with it sloping down on the right just a little. I like the photo despite that little nitpick. TT

Wow! 'Right place at the right time' with the lighting. Great composition. You'll do well in this challenge.
