Along the River Trail

This is my first post, but I could use any criticism you have to offer. I did some post editing work with PS. I cropped, cloned out a SUV, and warmed up the colors a bit with some saturation. If I post this pic incorrectly, let me know. Thanks for the advice in advance.

Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

I think it is a good one. I can't decide if I find that the lower bridge disturbs the picture or if it is a nice addition. It seems there's a bit much going on in the picture, yet I still like it from an overall perspective. I know that many posts about landscape photography tells us newbies to put something in the fireground in a landscape photograph, yet I think that the plant in the foreground wasn't necessary in this particular picture - the two bridges already adds some persepctive. Like the boat. It adds life. Keep it up! :-)

Hi and welcome to the group. Nice photo for your first submission. The bridges tend to overpower the boat, which I assume is the subject of your photo. Their mass and brightness make it hard to eventually find the boat.Good exposure and color contrast.
