This is one of only three pictures in List of bridges in Montreal that was not taken by myself. I believe there is not much that can be done to improve it, either by finding a better spot from which to take a picture, or a better timing for it. At full resolution, you can even see a bird flying above the bridge.

- This is quite an attractive and artistic depiction of the bridge but I would doubt its chances at FPC. The location of the sun takes out a lot of detail of the bridge itself, leaving much of it in silhouette. One of the key criteria is encyclopaedic value (EV) and this lighting, while looking attractive, reduces the EV. Some other issues could include that the bridge is partially cut-off, particularly at right, the foreground is a bit unappealing (the bit of road and armco) as well as that tree that is unfortunately positioned to obscure the pylon. There also appears to be some lens distortion causing the bridge to look curved (other photos from other angles indicate it is straight until it curves off at the end as the roadway descends). I have only looked at this at a reduced size (2000px) so can't comment on the other technicals for sure, but at that size there appears to be a bit more noise and artifacting than generally liked at FPC. Thanks for the nomination here; will leave it up what to do with it. --jjron (talk) 15:03, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
