 I was out trying to get my leading lines shot in Hartford on the pedestrian bridge that crosses the river. My intention was to have the walkway lead into the city, but this shot with the person on it stood out to me. As pointed out by my wife, I will probably lose points because of the crane and highway sign, but in basic, its a little hard to take those out of that scene.

Photoshop was curves, black and white (sepia tone 20%, opacity 50%), resize, reduce noise (cause I'm an idiot), usm, save for web.

Looks like you were right next to where I took my "framing III shot". colors seem a bit dark but this is a tough time of day to take this photo.

Shame there isn't more of an object amongst the bottom half leading in.

Nice photo. It's a little busy on the sides which I find distracting
