The contest post can be found here

This is looking across the Hotchkisss Bridge in Downtown Milford, CT, I used to live just a minutes walk from this bridge and walk over it so often the views from it are nice looking up and down the river, but for this post the bridge and its shadow are the focus.

This is a lovely bridge to walk across especially when they put up these flower pots which add a nice touch of color and speaking of which here is the color version of this shot

I have NEVER seen a bad image on your page! GREAT shot!

I am imagining strolling over this bridge. What a view!

So nice of you to say
I have walked over this bridge literally hundreds of times just walked over it two minutes ago but was cold out so came inside and trying to catch up on here lol

The flowers are lovely. With the sun it feels like spring.
But I really like the monochrome version because the shadows are more pronounced. Lovely little bridge :)

Thanks bit is a nice little bridge f

I love how you get to see the black and white photo and the color photo.

Thanks I thought it added to the post to show both

Black and white vs color. That age old debate (well at least a few decades). I would sum it up as such;

Color has more life while black and white has more soul.

While gazing upon it I can't help but wonder, what fascinating memories have been formed atop this bridge. First kisses, last goodbyes, even perhaps a drunken brawl. I suppose we will never know. Thank you my Kiwi friend for sharing this wonderful picture, with all it's hidden memories.

Yes indeed a debate that will no doubt continue on for ever

It’s all a matter of personal preference of course but for this one I New I wanted todo a B&W edit

The color version I only grabbed to skip in as an afterthought lol

Nice capture! Good luck :)

Thanks kindly

That is a really cool capture JJ. I so enjoyed it when I catch your photos. ;-)

Separately black and white is also good

Interesting pattern that the shadows make, The black and white really makes them pop!

Thanks
