I'm pretty sure feels ancillary and unfortunately don't mean the same thing. What's supposed to be interesting about a silo boat with its sail cut in half by a bridge? Would you shot any other strong verticals subject with another strong horizontal subject cutting through it?

Randy's critique to my image, and Robert G. Earnest's reply to Emily's critique of his earlier image, show how vastly different are tastes and expectations. Particularly in my case. . . Randy commented that the boat in the image was unfortunately in the way of the bridge. In fact I spotted the sloop while it and the boat I was in were both far from the bridge. I waited for a long time until we got closer to get the shot I wanted -- which was the sloop AND the bridge. The bridge alone would be merely another nice bridge shot. With the sloop, however, it became much more interesting -- to me. I guess I'm influenced by my time spent sailing such boats.

Yoram. I feel like you where taking a picture of a bridge and a boat got in the way. there isn't enough emphasis on the boat to make it very important in the shot. It feels ancillary and thus a distraction. I also don't feel the lithographic nature or the shot helps the shot over all It create to many super brights that affect there the eye should go.
I lived about half way from there to the Lady when I had my commercial studio in NYC. . .Randy S. Little
