 Vacation road trip up the beautiful, coastal highway 1 from my home in Los Angeles up to Santa Cruz, then the dreadfully boring interstate 5 south again. This is the Bixby Creek Bridge completed in 1932 in Big Sur, California. There were two waterfalls on a couple hikes nearby worth seeing. Perhaps some photos will appear in my portfolio.

Photoshop, rotate, crop, slight saturation increase, brightened, added contrast, photo warming filter 85 at 15%.

Fits in the ROT well IMO but lacks an overall contrast and pop to the colors. I can't really tell, but it looks like on one side of the mountain was a nice clear day, the other cloudy, which are alway difficult shooting conditions. 6

Great perspective! Definitely meets the challenge, but is also a beautiful shot for you to frame and hang in your home.
