I prefer the color version taken from the opposite side. The only advantage to this one is that you can read the sign more easily. This version is way too dark for my taste and should have been cropped tighter.

Thanks for commenting abc1234, appreciate your views. The image looked good on my monitor, not as dark as posted here. Did you try the download? it looks better. Victim of the UHH gremlins again. Cropping is not a problem, will give it a try.

Hi Don,

I did download it. I would go for more tonal range. Blacks are ok but could be a little blacker. Whites need to be whiter. If you adjust contrast, you might loose the midtones. Be careful but you can probably do it. The raw is probably ideal for this.

Thanks abc, will give your suggestions a try. I only have Lightroom 5.7, no Photoshop but will see what I can do.

That should work. For fine tuning, the radial filter may help. I prefer that to the adjustment brush. Let me know if you need help or want me to edit it.

Hi Don you might find silverfx useful

It works very well as a lightroom plugin and may get you the look you want easier than lightroom alone.
