    As you know, Gary, I'm a big fan of your special slant toward PP work. In a few cases though.....such as here.... I find those points that are blown out to be a distraction from an otherwise great presentation. I'm sure others will feel differently.

    Take care,

    Tom

    I really like this....it's like the whole image has taken on the rusty texture.

    this is a great shot. The level of PP is all a matter of taste. For me the red and oranges along with the blacks could be upped a bit, but keeping the grass and the overall perspective.

    Hi Gary

    I'm not a big fan of abstracts but this is just a really great image. I love the form of this bridge and the perspective you've captured with the diminishing arches marching into the distance. Although I've been away from the forum for awhile and have missed your most recent work, I have to say that this one of the best images I've seen from you. I'd love to see other treatments of this image- B&W, normal colored version with a bit of extra saturation etc. You can get a lot of mileage from this subject. clap.gif

    Everyone see's things differently :D -- I like your work on this. It has a hint of orange to balance out the browns well. To my eyes it's the blacks in it that seem to pull it all together.

    Where's the water????

    Is that over the Gila river? Was it taken in the morning? I like the composition of this and I like the pp you gave it. I think I would go there at sunset and try a natural pic too!

    NOt the Gila.....The Bridge is about 50 miles west of Phoenix. The pic. was taken at mid day......I almost never do that....The OOC was awful ..... I will give it another try at a better time of day......Glad you liked it......gary

    The composition and shot is on the money. Especially if it not a crop.
    A sweet image as shown. Maybe some over delighted. But thats a deal in
    itself. Ya know I love a software hit heading for impact if I can actually achieve it out of one original no add on's a plus. Like the stuff you keep
    aiming for Gary... and getting. :D Neat and then some thumb.gif
