Nice one! I like the strong (in focus) silhouetted fence, with the blurred (seemingly, unreachable, due to the firm fence) bridge in the background. I find the tree a little bit disturbing, but that's nitpicking. Great shot!

Good idea to ficus on the fence, the out of focus background colour works well. ...Wayne

This was taken from an access road of some sort, that didn't run along the (Los Angeles?) river, but rather, is roughly "U" shaped, and I'm at the bottom/apex here. Might explore the area one day, armed with map, and try the other side.

i'm always partial to light reflections on the water, and this is no exception. i love this photo, the colors, the blur of the background ~ and knowing what the original looks like, i like the photo even more. you did a splendid job.

That's a great composition. I like the sharpness of the wire against the vagueness of the background and its lighting.
