July 2026 Photo Contest Theme: Bridges of the World (page 5 of 5)

Thanks Isabelle. Photo critiques are a great way to improve.

Well done Gaura! I gave my 3 points to this photo. Now we need to find a theme. Preferably one that hasn’t been suggested before 😏

Yes, finding a new theme would be great, but a lot have already been suggested since 2010. The main thing is to have a theme that can bring together as many photos as possible 😊.

I'm so flattered and surprised to have won the contest with a photo of the Pont Alexandre III almost swallowed by the Seine, recognizable mainly by its four columns and their gilded statues highlighted by a beautiful late-winter afternoon light. I'm really at a loss for choosing a theme, especially since my house is full of kids and grandkids who don’t leave me any time to dig through my photos to illustrate said theme6+36+36+36+36+36+36+36+3. Oh, and I also have a kitten among my boarders—he just walked across the numeric keyboard!😉 Thanks, Kate, for posting the old themes—I’ll pick one from there!😛

Anyway, it was a success with the bridges 😁

A podium that deserves flowers: can you spot the gaura in the chaos of my exhausted Breton garden? Okay, the background is messy, but if I (re)touch the Virginia creeper, I’m dead. 😇

And of course, he wandered off before finding the solution... 😮

To wrap up the discussion, I had hesitated between the winning photo of Pont Alexandre III and this one, closer to the bridge, with equally exceptional lighting.

Oh yes, I much prefer this one—the bridge is really well highlighted! 👍

Thanks Isabelle for your feedback, and congrats to Gaura. Sorry I couldn’t vote—I’ve been offline for a month.
