They're both really nice, Kathy. I think I prefer the other view. I think the bright red barn and the house make view a bit too busy.

This is a very lovely composition. Your gift for seeing angles in these sorts of klandscape shots just keeps getting better Kathy. Also your framing of the scene through the bridge opening is very good and adds dimension and interest, yet that more distant scene does not overpower the main star of this, which is the bridge itself of course. The tree trunk at left adds weight to that side and that combined with the shooting angle from the left of the bridge makes it appear that the bridge itself is positioned farther to the left of center than it actually is. And interesting compositional nuance. This is very well shot and is in the traditional style of classic country scene. Great work!
Regards,
Mark

Hi Sheila,
It sounds like you've been busy! I hope you're having fun with that!
This bridge is out in Lynden, but it would be hard to spot if you didn't know it was there. My brother is friends of the guy that had this built, so he sent me out that way. It's nice to have people on the lookout for great shots!

The posted view is better than the alternative you offer, Kathy. In your posting there is more emphasis on the red of the bridge (I like that in relation to the greenery) and the perfect framing of the red barn.

Very rich and lush - red barns and now bridges are great in contrast to the greenery! Well done, Kathy!

Sorry I haven't commented lately, I've been caught up in researching my family history. It's been very interesting!
Great shot Kathy! Where is this bridge? I have yet to come upon this one! I'm torn between the two angles. I like how the red barn is framed in the posted shot and I like the leading lines of the fence and road in the other. Both are great. Well done!

Hi Kathy, this is a beautiful scene, I love the view through the bridge/barn, I think you chose the perfect angle and perspective, I viewed the other and prefer this as there are no distractions and a nice clear view...

Hi Kathy,
At first glance in the thumbs, I thought I was going to prefer your husbands choice. But I think you were right to post the one you did. The one above has a beautiful leading line into the bridge by way of that wet road. I also think the image is more pleasing without so many branches covering the top of the bridge and obscuring the lettering. I prefer the positioning of the barn in the background of the one you posted as well.
It is IMO a much better image over-all.

Great perspective, Kathy! I like the way you've framed the barn throught the bridge! Excellent colour throughout the shot, too.

Hi Gayle,
This is in our area...but it's a bit of a cheat. It is right in the middle of a town called Lynden, in a very populated area. My brother's friend built this as a replica of the real thing.
The cafe is indeed up and running. Susie and I are working hard (maybe TOO hard at times) but we have a great staff and it's fun. If you ever get up our way be sure to give us a holler and we'll make sure you have directions and hours and all that good stuff!

Beautiful pic Kathy. I love the angle and how the subject is the full size of the frame. Great color. Tree on the left foreground adds a bit of depth too. Great shot. Don't seem to make them like this anymore (well not in Kansas City, anyways, ha.)

Interesting, to see this covered bridge, Kathy. From a documentary point of view I prefer your choice, from an artistic point of view your husbands fav. Both have their merits however.
