Clare Bridge

Another image from last night.

Clare College Bridge (1640)


Info from Wikipedia:

The oldest of Cambridge's current bridges, this bridge in classical style was built in 1639–40 by Thomas Grumbold (d.1659). It survives as the oldest due to all its contemporaries being destroyed by the parliamentarian forces in the Civil War, to make the town of Cambridge more defensible. Many different stories are told to explain the missing section of the globe second from the left on the south side of the bridge. One rumour is that the builder of the bridge received (what he considered to be) insufficient payment, and in his anger, removed a segment of the globe.

I cropped it quite tightly on top, as there were lots of distractions above - is it too tight? What do you think...?

River Cam, Grantchester Meadows, a few weeks back. Works better in mono than colour. False (PS) bokeh - does it work?

River Reflection

A new angle on an ordinary scene. Perhaps could do with a crop off the top, to remove the slightly over-exposed and uninteresting part of the wall? That would also cut off some of the reflected wall, which may impact the image more. Not sure. No PS tweaks on this one - as is (maybe I cropped, can't recall).

Thoughts/comments?
