FINDING THAT ESSENCE

BUTTRESS, FERNBRIDGE, MAY 2012

I still do not know if I am capturing the essence of the bridge. Perhaps "the essence" is to be found in the entire body of work. I think that there will be one image that "most effectively" captures the essence or soul of the bridge, but I wonder if it does take a body of work to more fully convey the many aspects and moods of the structure and of the place.

This photograph is a composite of multiple images that were combined into one, and then it was cropped. The initial panorama was vertical, and I decided that there was considerably more foreground than I liked to see, so I cropped about a  third off of the bottom.
