    Default Wood Bridge

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

    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

    My mistake has been seeking new landscapes. I should have been seeking new light.

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

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