Cloned out a small distracting flare from lamp under bridge.
Sepia colour, dodge and burn, curves, hue/sat, resize, usm, save for web.
I am very proud of this pic and hope some of you like it too. I can honestly say I don't mind how it does in the challenge. This is my first free study and I imagine competition will be very tough anyway.

We Were in Dublin this past spring and we walked across that bridge. You did a fabulous job on this photo. I understand why you are proud of it. Unfortunatley, I couldn't use any of my pictures in challenges because of the time frame. A couple of them are in my portfolio though.
This is very nice. It's definitely one of the better works in this challenge. It could easily have score much higher than the very respectable placing that it did receive. Good work Amy!
Love the post processing on this one... wish it would have done better. definitely deserved it. I'd love to see the original just to see a little of what you did.
Oooh - I love the sepia tones and the use of light and dark in this one. The textures of the buildings almost have a silky looking quality to them. Would really like to hear what you did in post processing. I love this image - stunning. 10.
In Dublin? I think you could almost have cropped right at the bottom of the bridge, cos the water is so dark I can't see anything there. If it is the Liffey, maybe I don't want to see the water :) nice shot
