I'm not sure what the etiquette is on this site regarding Post Processing. This ones had a fair bit done to the background. Let me know if it is too much.

Hmm, maybe it's me, but I find it difficult to figure out what I am looking at. A before and after for comparison might help.

Its a footbridge crossing the Parramatta River between Wilde Ave and Macarthur St, Parramatta, NSW, Australia. You can see the side rails and oar sculptures attached the rails either side with just the light from street lights in the background. I should have included an explanation.

It is gorgeous.

Even after reading your explanation I still have no idea what I am really looking at...doesn't look much like a bridge...but whatever it is...it is a very interesting image...I like it.

I agree with Wool, it's a really cool image. I'm usually not to into digital media like this but what you did really looks great.

Thanks,

OK here's the original with a lot of Shadow and Highlight.

OK, thats kinda how I was guessing it would look after seeng the first picture...BUT without you telling us it was a bridge I would NOT have been able to figure it out!

VERY cool shot!

I really like the version you posted first. It looked like a footbridge to me. Could that be because my first post-graduating job was as a bridge designer?

Cool, nice design !!

Great shot

I like it a lot. Abstract but very stimulating to the imagination. For some reason it makes me think of Pegasus the mythological flying horse.

I think it is a beautiful work. I'm with Ken here, it does remind one of Pegasus.
