Wood Bridge

[Greg_Nuspel]

Do you think this photo requires more punch. It is rendered quite realistically as far as I can remember, so does it work?

Looks good to me. Only that background steals the show..What Bridge? Its hardly a fair fight:)

Beautiful scene. I disagree with Antz--the bridge works in tandem with the mountains for me, and my eye goes to it. On my nice Mac monitor, the bottom half of the shot appears a bit dark--perhaps the mid-tones need to be lifted a bit?

I like it! I wish I could of been there..just gorgeous!

I too find it a tad bit dark (underexposed) or flat maybe. I'm not to sure but it has a little bit of a dull appearance.

Very nice image, but I agree with kat; this image would really benefit from a curves tweak, and possibly some selective saturation adjustments as well.

My just a tad more contrast or possibly bring up the blacks a bit.
It is a well done image as is though:)

[Greg_Nuspel]

Ok I punched it up some and played with the curves, do you like it more now?

Yes! It is gorgeous now. :)

What a cool scene indeed. I think the 2nd shot is a tad overdone now but it certainly did wonders for the sky and mountain in the background.

[jabber]

Better, but I agree a tad overdone now. Have you experimented with some fill light in the bottom half? Still, a beautiful shot.

[scorpio_e]

I think it is much better. If I had to choose between the two I would pick the second one. It is a bit overdone..

Stunning image Greg!

[Greg_Nuspel]

Thanks all, I'll tone it down when I get back from my holiday. Too busy checking supplies and trying to put my backpack on a weight loss plan.

[Duane]

Wow! it looks great! I like the second shot better also.

[MoinMoin]

I like the second better than the first. I like it with its more saturation.

[Greg_Nuspel]

I found some time to try again, I think this could be a long time project :wall-an: Time to take some training with photoshop.

The punched image is great, but the foregound does still need a half more stop of light, it is too dark in comparison to the background, actually the background could fall a bit

[mindforge]

I definitely like the second one much more. The backgound mountains pull my eye just a little but it is a great shot.
