I came across this bridge on Saturday morning while out looking for some graffiti. I set up my camera on a tripod and took some test shots so i could achieve the exposure that i wanted. Once i had the photo i used my levels and bumped up the black and the white, once i was done there i used my brightness and contrast and finally i played around with the hue and saturation and played with my levels just a little bit more and this is my result.

GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

Congratulations, You found a nice scene, perfect for the Challenge, and photographed it well and processed it well.

You also received a nice score for this difficult Challenge. So, you have left me little to critique. However, there is one point I will suggest. The hot spot where the sky and shops show through the 'artwork.' I realize that, in basic editing, you couldn't blur the area out or dull it down; you were stuck with it.

But at the scene, if you could have moved that tripod (good idea to use it, btw) just a little to block out the street & sky it might have made this good image even better. I hasten to say "you were there, I wasn't." Such a move might not have been possible, or would have made the picture less interesting.

So, I'll just close by saying "good work" and I hope this critique has been helpful to you.
