I thought of using a version of this for the free study, but since its expert editing, I thought people would have thought I photoshopped the rock in. I honestly didn't know this rock was there until I took a wrong turn and ended up in Fort Baker and saw it. I didn't want to oversaturate, but it had to get the red back in the bridge. Used the 16-32-16 bit tonemap thing, but mostly just to have more control of the curve. I really enjoy how off-putting the composition is, its all wrong and I like it, hope some of you do too.

Great shot, but its a bit off-balanced. The rock is strong, but the bridge on the right with nothing on the left of the image leads the eye right off the right side. Balanced images will always do better.
After looking at this one for a while, I think that I figured out your title. :) This is perfectly exposed. I'm just not sure about the rock right in the center, dominating the composition. 8 for now, but you have the one shot in the challenge that makes me want to come back and stare at it for a while more to decide on a final score.
