Grave Creek Covered Bridge Or.

Going through some pics from this past summer.
Thought I would Process this one.

Really nice image. I think I would crop the sky a bit for two reasons. The subject seems too centered and I find the amount of darkness in the upper corners distracting. Very nice though...

Thanks Willy.
Thought about it, but love the expanse, plus the 16x20 I just got looks Great!
Did re-edit it and took out the power lines.

I know my biggest problem some times is I'm to symmetrical, but what the hell.

Sometimes rules are made to be broken. Yes, the bridge is centered, but so is the point of view, and I'm not sure how you'd present that angle and not have it be centered.

Having the extra sky helps in that respect too. It brings the top of the bridge a bit closer to the 1/3 point, so at least it's not centered up vertically too. You can easily "crop" the sky in your browser by scrolling down the page. I tried it and find I definitely like the shot as is.

The vignetting in the corners may be a bit strong, but it goes well with the HDR effect anyway, so I think it fits just fine.

Gorgeous Shot!!! Love it and I tend to center things too...Post the one w/o the powerlines, I'd love to see it. I'm anti-power line and will spend a lot of time editing them out...

I like it .

Thanks for the comments!
The vignetting was the sky, not lens., but to be honest I evened the darkness on the right a tiny bit above the right point of the roof eves to keep it symmetrical.
I was shooting facing south and the clouds and sky was just darker like that, hence no vignetting on the bottom.

Nice shot. I dig it, a lot.
