The dynamic range between the shadow detail under the bridge and the sky highlights is large. Postprocessing a single image to show detail throughout will result in the halos...which appear at the edges of dark and light zones.. It's a good candidate for HDR Efex Pro 2. I think you may have improved the three dimensional appearance by including items of interest in the foreground. An aperture of f/18 is mightly tiny pinhole and could be on the edge of bending lightwaves as they enter the lens and reducing clarity and detail sharpness. I wouldn't go much tinier than f/16. Furthermore, f/11 or even f/8 may have given you adequate DOF to encompass your scene. |

i like the processing however be careful when pushing the clarity to not create halo or makes things glow. i'd also like to see a longer exposure as the water is blurred but not blurred enough. not that you dont have to follow stupid DPC editing rules, blur that water with a motion blur and smooth as you can. really make that bridge pop out. |

Overall I like the image, I am partial towards B&W images. I like the detail of the bridge against the smoother water. I would have taken off a point or two because it appears a bit over processed. If you look at the upper edge of the bridge, and under the nearest arch, there is a halo that looks much like a bit too heavy of an application of Topaz Adjust. I probably would have given this a 7 or 8. |
