Bridge crit

[Sindagon]

Hi, I was recently in Gozo and I took an HDR shot of this bridge because I thought that it looked too bland as it was and I wanted to bring out a bit more life into the photo. I was essentially happy with everything but the sky. I don't know why but the sky seems to bother me for some reason. I would love to hear what you think. Please go ahead. Oh, and do you think it is too overdone as a whole? Thanks





ps how can i find the exif data from photobucket?

I personally like it.....love the inclusion of the small chunk of land at far left right on bridge line.
I think if it were mine I'd duplicate it and create some random light casting over those close up rocks for a bit more drama but the obviously processed look works for me.
However I am a post processor and love to tweak every image I shoot. I se a scene and think of how i can edit it....lol!

I tried editing by dodging the black areas in the foreground and blurring the sky to get rid of the noise. What do you think?

[Sindagon]

This is the re-edit, Can the admins resize it please because I don't know how! Grazie

well my first thought is wow.

my second thought is that i would like to see the detail of the rock stand out just a tiny bit more.

[Sindagon]

Thanks for your patience Peeperita, I will read the guidlines to avoid future confusion. Thanks again

@anthonybeard: which rock? the one on the right in the foreground?

From what I see the sky is far too dark and doesnt match the bright lights shining thru the bridge. Perhaps lightening up just the sky would do the trick
