New Bridge/Folsom

[pperez1981]

This is a bridge a few blocks from my house. This shot obviously has some post processing done. I used color effex midnight filter and Aperture. Do you think it is a little over done? A litte too dark perhaprs? What about the comp? Is there too much foreground? All feed back welcome. Thanks.

Hi Phil,

IMO the rocks in the foreground are a bit distracting/too bright. But other than that I like what you did. Hey, is that the bridge near the prison or the one going into old Folsom?

[pperez1981]

Thanks. I was wondering about the foreground myself. Are you a fellow photographer in the Folsom Area?

[Chippee]

Hi Phil, yes, Citrus Heights actually. So is that the bridge by Folsom Prison?

[pperez1981]

oh, sorry. That is the bridge leading into old folsom. So it's not the newest bridge over by the prison. I just got used to calling it the new bridge. It's not the new bridge anymore I guess.

I think it's a bit overdone which is part of the problem with the foreground.
It seems like you went for a soft focus, but the subject doesn't seem suited to a "dreamy feel" to me.
