Night Bridge...

C/C welcome...as always,

I like the composition and the low angle used for this.

The main light is a bit too bright and draws the eye too much and I feel it needs toning down a bit.

I also think this would be better if it were a bit darker like the bench shot.

This has great potential Terri and I would work on it some more if I were you. :)

I messed with it a while...I think it looks more like Phart now...but, I think I like it:



Thoughts? It's definitely darker!!!

I think I'm going to play some more...don't like the sky.

Ok...how about this:

i liked this Terri and agree with Stewart that it's a bit too bright, also i wasn't over keen on the reworks as the sky became very pixelated, so i thought i play with it and see what i could come up with, hope you don't mind? i duplicated the image and selected the sky, feathered by 5 pixels and did a curves adjustment to darken it, not too much though, the sky was pixelated after that the same as your reworks, so i duplicated the copy then i applied a gaussian blur about 3.1 pixels took a snapshot of that then set the history brush to the snapshot then on the history pallet went to duplicate layer and used the history brush to blur the sky where i wanted, it might not be your taste but it'll give you an idea of what else can be done to it

I like the Blue version Terri although the light is still too bright.

How can I tone it down Stewart?

Good Question.

I would use the eye dropper to pick the colour just to the right of the main bright spot then use the Magic wand to select the bright spot.

use colour fill on it using the chosen colour then feather and blur it a little.

See how that works.

I am sure Stuart has some ideas too, when he recovers from pickling his brain cells at his Birthday Party. :)
