Very nice shots Esweeney. Their all great but I favor #3. People always make a picture pleasing Picture, I think.
Hey, I'm in #2! Of course, you have to look pretty hard to see me sitting on the rocks... :)
Thanks for your appreciation!
My wife and I went to Yosemite near the end of September and did some hiking and climbing. Here are a few of the shots we got as I lugged my camera up and down those rocks! That little rock outcropping on the top left of Half Dome is where I'm sitting in the second picture. After a drought summer, there's not much falling going on at Yosemite Falls, but the view is spectacular. Especially with my lovely wife in it! :)
I hope you like them , and if you have comments or suggestions, please feel free!

End of the day
I took these at a rest stop for a bike rally on Saturday. They have received almost no post-processing. I'm looking for suggestions as to what I might do, or if it's even worth doing!
The same bridge under more propitious circumstances...
@jethro779 - I like the B&W, did you make other adjustments? Was that Lightroom?
@SonyA580 - that's under the "adjustments" in Photoshop? Did you shift the midpoint?
Thanks for your suggestions!
So, we have this lovely bridge here in Dallas, designed by Santiago Calatrava and crossing the (much wider than usual) Trinity River.
Unfortunately, the bridge is white, and now that we're catching up on the rain we've needed (for the last five years or so), the bridge does not exactly stand out against the sky.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a Lightroom/Photoshop beginner that can make the bridge stand out just a little bit more in pictures such as the attached?

Greetings!
I have been lurking for a while, and now I think it's time to say hello. My name is Eric, I live in Texas and I love to travel. Having recently upgraded my photo equipment ( to a Nikon D5300) I decided to try to upgrade the operator from Prolific Picture Taker to Competent Photographer. I look forward to a long and profitable relationship of me picking y'all's brains... :)
I have attached a pic of a waterfall in Cherokee Village, Arkansas for no really good reason. Thanks in advance for or the great knowledge I expect to reap!
