Newfield Bridge V2

Here's a different version of the Newfield Bridge that I posted a pic of earlier today. Doug and Shirley wanted to see a version with more of the entrance visible and I do think this works better! Thanks Doug and Shirley!

Now you're talking! I really like this viewpoint better.

Maybe losing a little of the photo on the right side would give it more impact. I wouldn't take anything off the left side because, I like the curved guardrail leading into the bridge.

Good job. I was hoping you had shot more photos of it!

Nice job Barry. This is definetly the better of the two shots by far and a keeper as is.

Most people will probably like the second picture more than the first one but both of them have merit. Firstly, let me ask if the two shots were taken at different ends of the bridge since the bridge is leaning right in one image and left in the other one. I like the diamond patterns in both images. In the 1st picture, the inside diamonds in the wood continue on the outside in the row of diamond windows. In general I like curves and diagonals. The first image has a strong diagonal and the second has the curve. If you ever decided to look at variations, you can try to decrease the saturation of the greens and increase the reds and oranges of the bridge to bring more of the attention to the bridge. If you sharpen the sign on the bridge some people might like to read the name. What if you burned the light toned bushes in the lower right corner of picture no. 1?

Thanks Doug, Larry and Wayne!

Wayne - Both shots were taken at the same end of the bridge; I just moved from one side of the road to the other. I kind of like both shots as well so maybe I need to process one more and present them as a triptych? As to the adjustments (color, burning, etc.)you are suggesting, I actually did them all when processing both images as shown; although it is possible I can push the adjustments a little further.

Cheers!
