Default Cumberland Bridge

I took this picture of a bridge a couple weeks ago when we went to the Cumberland Mtn. St. Park.

I was wondering which one everyone likes better and how can I make this picture better?

Camera: Cannon Rebel XTI
Lens: Cannon EF 28-138mm
Exposure: 1/250
Aperture: f5.6
Focal Length: 35.0 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Flash: Off, Did not fire

I like the first one, because you can see a little detail in the shadows. If you could increase the contrast, just a bit, without losing detail in the shadows, I think (just my opinion) it would make it a better photograph. I would also try to boost the saturation on the bridge, just a little.

I like #4, but I tend to like captures more on the dark side.

Always ok for DPS users to critique and edit my photos for instructional purposes.

Thanks for the input! I think you are right about the contrast and saturation. I will do that as soon as I get done painting. I will post it so you can see

I agree with you, that one was my fav too. I also like the dark photos so I'm trying to not just stay with all dark and lighten up a little.

You're welcome. What are you painting? BTW, did you get the 50mm. f/1.8 lens?

We are painting the school room. Fun huh? Yes I got it and I really like it so far! I got it like two days ago and haven't had much time to go out and shoot but I will post some as soon as I get a good one or at least one that I am pleased with

Looking forward to seeing what you do with your new lens.
