Layer Masks/Curves Adjustment Layers

Comment by redmoon:
I do like how you’ve demonstrated the difference between having the tutorial and not, but in this case didn’t think the image you have used is particularly well suited in an artistic sense. The place where the split happens doesn’t seem to have a reason; acts only as distraction. Possibly something with two distinct sides having the processed side complimenting the other side might have been more effective? I do like the final result of the processed side; makes for a more interesting and arty image and it does demonstrate how effective and creative such processing can be. Just a pity the split is so jarring. In two minds about the composition too; I love the little glint of sunlight at the top, but think possibly would have been more satisfying if you made it squarer by cutting off the top midway up the side of the bridge (i.e. no car, barrier or sky).

My First Weighted Scoring System ™; composition + technical 2/3, challenge* 1/1, post processing results 1.5/2, ooooh factor 1.5/3, originality 0.5/1 =6.5, rounded to 7 (* I don’t think it’s possible to not meet the challenge on this one so everyone gets a 1/1)

I think I see Q*bert trying to sneak in on the top right! This is my favorite so far and my only "8" of the bunch...great stuff.

Well, I still like them, even if the voters don't. :)

The blur coupled with the tight framing makes this very disorienting. My first impression was that it feels too accidental, but it's kind of growing on me.

The laws of physics meet the laws of the jungle. A wonderful graphic.

So, were you there on a Sunday or Monday? It looks closed. Some people would help to add more interest.
