Neat foot bridge.. what do you think?

This is in a state supported park that is now closed and no longer used. The bridge isn't super old but old enough to have a rather rustic look with moss on it. Took only 3 shots of it and this is the best of the 3. The others were darker. I've made some minor adjustments in photoshop. Let me know what you think.

I don't know.. now that I'm looking at it I think I like the original better. It's smoother.. softer.

Bump. (Moving it to the top of the list since it seems to have gotten lost.)

It is something I would have taken a picture of because I like photographing bridges and old barns. Of the two photos, I like the first one best, it provides some contrast in the picture. I think if anything is lacking it is a bigger element of contrast to make the bridge pop. JMHO

Go Back in the fall when the colors are more vivid..it will make all the difference.

Hmmm... ok I see your point. I'll have to experiment with it some more.
I probably will go back in the fall. :) I'm hoping the trees really turn this year. Some years they turn a little and then go brown and drop their leaves.

as you can see the colors will frame the bridge nicely..can't wait to see your "fall version"

I like the brighter one myself. it sets the mood of abandonment or perhaps lonleyness. Sugestion for going back when leaves turn is ecxcellant also. Had to leave a post. I am on post 666 and I hate that number.

Wow! That is certainly an incentive to return in the fall. :)

Here are the settings I used for the footbridge. I just found out how to retrieve them. :) f3.5, 1/30, ISO160

I have a tripod but I didn't bring it with me that day. Planned on hiking along the creek and didn't want to carry it. Perhaps I should have.
