Hi all, I must admit I have really struggled this week to filter out podium choices, you really have surpassed yourselves with a terrific selection of Bridge / Viaduct shots. Well done all. With that being said, filter I must, so without further ado I have decided to go with :- In joint third place I'm a railfan obviously for this lovely simplistic but gorgeous scene on the Settle to Carlisle . and also to cscarpenter for this super N15 on the Royal Albert Bridge capture. With a tie for second place we have Blazin for this wonderful Brusio Spiral Viaduct image. I love the way you managed to line up the curve of the lower track with both the nose of the train and the overhead viaduct, really accentuates the curve effect, great work. and also cscarpenter for this picture postcard shot of Weymouth Harbour. Great lighting, composition, reflections and the fact the train is almost an afterthought. Which leaves this week's winner as PhÜnKî_Rø0sTā with this fantastic shot of the iconic Forth Bridge. Again great lighting and composition, the way you have managed to line up the bridge perfectly with the horizon is just brilliant, and as for the reflection, well wow. Oh nearly forgot, also nice choice of train LOL. Many congratulations and my personal thanks for making my choices so difficult, I genuinely have really enjoyed sifting through them, great work from all. Over to you PhÜnKî_Rø0sTā to lead us on to Week 27 and whatever theme that may bring. Cheers all.
New comp up and running everyone. Please note the new closing dates and times due to my location (Australia) and that I have a busy weekend ahead next week) https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/unofficial-screenshot-competition-week-27.82464/
