Different view of the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan. Don't really like the way the processing turned out here. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Struggling with the editing department. vmad

Try more of a pano crop to place the bridge a 1/3 from the top and to cut most of the first wave out of the frame (that seems to keep drawing my eye away from the bridge). It's nice to see the scaffolding is gone now.

You have the horizon and the bridge almost dead center and the right side and additional sky draw your attention away from the bridge. There's also a bluish tint to what should probably be a white wave. I did a quick edit to show how I'd crop it and used the wave to set the white balance in ACR. You don't say anything about whether or not you allow edits, so if you want me to remove mine, let me know.

Oh oh! Did you shoot it in RAW? It's so fun to share RAW files and edit them individually. Otherwise, I'd crop the sky lower. The horizon you have would look great with a panorama too.
