 This is the same bridge that I shot in this DQ'd challenge entry .

Once again I layed down in the road to get this low perspective shot. This time the wind wasn't blowing so much so that I could hear the cars coming. I also heard a road maintenance worker yell at me to "Get the #@ck out of the road." I told him to go back to work in the same manner.

A weird coincidence is that I had submitted another post processed version before this one and I had cloned out that darn crane on the right side of the bridge. I had forgotten (again) that this is a basic editing challenge. I'm glad that I remembered before the challenge submission time ended.

Post processing:

Opened RAW file in Photoshop CS2
Cloned out sensor dust (not the darn crane)
Levels
Hue Sat boost in yellow and red
Hue Sat boost in master
Levels tweaking again here and there
Slight crop to actually reduce the negative space (top of sky)
Unsharp
Resize for DPC

This is great! Love the perspective and the fact that there are some clouds plus the blue sky make the negative space a little more interesting.

Negative space must be shaped by positive space in order to have impact.
