Needs some contrast IMO and I might crop to get rid of some of the foreground.

Looks like they finally put a fresh coat of paint on that thing since I've last seen it (worked in Cherry Hill for many years). :D

Turn your Image Editing OK on, and let some of us have a go at it!

I didn't spend a lot of time on the pic, but here's my take after a few minutes in Photoshop:

IMAGE NOT FOUND
HTTP response: 404 | MIME changed to 'image/gif' | Byte size: ZERO | PHOTOBUCKET ERROR IMAGE


Here's what I did:

1. Crop so that the main tower of the bridge isn't centered and so that there's less foreground;

2. Levels adjustment;

3. SLIGHT saturation of blue, cyan and yellow channels;

4. Added a cooling filter (80) but only at about 10%.

The pic looks kinda noisy to me, though. That may be because it's been compressed for posting. I didn't do anything about that. I'm only just now getting more advanced in PS and other people on this forum can do much better, but this gives you an idea of at least some of the differences you can make in post-processing.

My try in Lightroom, bumped exposure and got more contrast with some levels adjustments, saturated a bit of blue, and some sharpening. Oh, and my crop was identical to Randy's. BTW, looking at it, I like Randy's better.

Often, you get a grainy look (i.e., "digital noise") when shooting at high ISO. But your pic was shot at ISO 80, so that's not a big problem. I'm no expert at the intricacies of what happens to zeros and ones in the editing process, but the problem with these pics may be compression when uploading them to post and/or the pics having been edited and saved several times before posting. And I note that the resolution isn't exceptionally high at 180 dpi (although pretty good). I also note that you originally shot these in auto and in jpeg format. If you're not already, set your camera for the largest jpeg files it will shoot. More importantly, I strongly suggest you shoot in manual mode and in camera RAW, which your camera can do.
