This pretty much captured my own views about the shot, which I would not have entered but for the FS marathon. The score, flitting back and forth around 6.0, is all about the processing, not the capture, which is nothing but a postcard. (And I can't even take much credit for the processing, either ... just a 5 minute edit with one of the LR pre-packaged presets followed by some noise ninja and sharpening!)

Thanks for all the kind comments and votes, and the honest ones like andrew's, too.

Commenting as part of my Team Suck duties...

Nice composition and processing.. though, could have done with a fraction more contrast (IMHO). Love the border.

Very nice photo.
Every time I look at it again it gets better.
I used to cross this bridge weekly years ago on my way into the produce markets with my old Freightliner.
Can't really say I miss the job though.

Not to keen on the toning of this one. It's a nice shot but the processing has left it a little dull and lifeless.

Like a vintage post card. I think the harsh white border detracts as there is not true white in the image. Maybe a subtle beige would have worked better.
