Welcome to NPN, Raied!
I don't think ive seen a cloudy Watchman-bridge shot before...bet you were the only one taking photos, a real rarity :biggrin:
Well I love quirky photos and this definitely fits the bill--i really like the sky here with the long exposure. My only complaint is that i would have liked to see more of the infamous cottonwood on the right side--i think it would have complimented all this grey nicely. Look forward to seeing more form you! :wavey:

Indeed, I was with a group of photographers and they all opted to go for shooting as it was too cloudy.

Love the clouds in this Raied and the mood of the image.

Raied,

Hard to make places like this stand out, but when we get a chance to visit these places we often feel compelled to capture an image. This is a tough one because we see so much of it. I do like the motion in the clouds, but the light and conditions aren't doing much for the landscape unfortunately. Color and contrast is kind flat. Of course not much you could do, so no fault of your own; just makes hard to make this landscape stand out.

I know it's early yet, but don't be shy about posting some comments on other members images.

Thanks for sharing!

Lon

Raied, Im with Lon on this. The clouds are pretty cool and dyanmic but having shot this location and seen so much of it I'm looking for something to really stand out to make an impression. On its own it's nice but i'd prefer full fall color or no fall color along with better light. Keep posting!

Interesting take. The clouds are the best part, although I also like that nice curve in the river. a little more color and contrast would have been nice but the light just wasn't with you.
