Bridge needs editing.

Thanks RB. You're really getting good at those subtle lighting effects. Nice touch with the cloud beams. And how did you get the mist to look whispy? I think the best I could manage would be clumps of haziness.
No, thank you R.G.. After seeing everyone else's edits I wish I had done more with the sky color wise... I used a cloud brush in airbrush mode and tries to make it as visible as possible without over doing.. I use GIMP and found a few good libraries of free brushes out there..

Cloud brush.... that's something I'll need to look out for.

Architecture, Cityscape?!? Didn't see that one coming lol. That was quite a leap of imagination to think of applying them to this one :thumbup: . Nice job on the lightening and detail.
Thanks for your comments R.G.
I felt that rocky terrain and a stone bridge were close cousins to bricks and stones.

Of course :roll: . Silly me lol.
Here is my take on the photo . I did some minor light adjustments, slight color huge adjustment and a high pass filter.

Thanks for your contribution, Joe. What's that yellow stuff called again? Oh yes, I remember now - sunshine :) . Thanks for a reminder of warmer times :thumbup: .
Here's my attempt for what it's worth :-)

Good job, AH. you've got the lighting levels sorted out nicely, the sky looks natural and the details are sharp but not overly so.

This is one of the single shots I got of Dalbrack Bridge when I was doing some HDR bracketing from another viewpoint. The jpg is converted straight from RAW.
I have a DNG of the original RAW, but it was too big for UHH, so I tried lossy compression in the conversion to DNG. So there is a choice - a 13.8MB JPG or an 11.1MB compressed DNG. I haven't a clue which will give the best starting point for editing, so I'd be very interested in feedback on that subject. Jpg here, DNG to follow.
PS - The sky isn't blown. I checked. And to anybody who's interested, the compressed DNG is less than half the size of the non-compressed DNG (11.1 MB v 24.2 MB).

I put my hand into the pot!! not as good as any already done but just learned an embossing technique, coupled with B&W

An old-time look for an old bridge - seems appropriate :thumbup: .
Embossing? Sounds interesting.

open image in PS cc open layers>drag photo (in layers box} down to "create new layer" {bottom of layers box, it is the icon piece of paper w folded edge> it will make a copy of photo "make sure the 'copy' is highlighted"
then click on the "fx" symbol at bottom of" layers panel"
it will open a box click on "bevel emboss..."
that will open the "layer style" panel" click on "bevel and emboss" left" side of panel then center of panel change 'style' to "inner bevel" change 'technique' to "hard chisel" play with your "depth and size" slider until you like what it looks like!
hope this helps

I'll have to go with what Elements has to offer. If I remember right, the fx section does have effects like that. Thanks for the info.
