Paul,

This has 3 diagonal elements of totally different feel, actually 4 if we add the sky.

Any chance there's detail of clouds or s gradient hidden in the sky.

Did you also try a more contrasts expression in the wooden wall with peeling paint. I'd imagine that there might be further rich variation in tonalities that might be in the original raw file?

Anyway, each time you share a picture of the bridge I am so happy to see you searching for a small area to study and bring that to us to enjoy.

Thanks,

Asher

Asher, l 'dodged' the wooden building to create a contrast with the dark tones of the bridge and fence. As for the sky, l do have some tones in it but l wouldn't want them to distract from the rest of the image.
I must admit with hindsight l have had a big interest in the Bay Bridge moreso than the Golden Gate.
