 The Market Street Bridge in Harrisburg, PA. I was originally going to submit a flower photo, but I was bored and decided to try my luck in town. Converted from RAW. I boosted the contrast a little and brightened it up. Adjusted curves, hue, and saturation.

I guess I can see the symmetry aspect with the stones going back but its probably not what most voters were looking for in this challenge. A shame that that pole inthe very back isthere as it draws me eye to it and away from your primary focus.

Outside of it being a stretch for the challenge my biggest issue is probably the hue of the shot. The orangish tint is just not pleasing to my eye. This may have worked well as a black and white with the contrast tweaked to give you good definition in the stones. As it is though it just doesnt feel good.

Overall not a lot of wow power or heavy impact to this shot to garner it higher scores. Hang in there and keep on shooting. Dont let a low score here and there get you down. God luck in future challenges!

symmetry?

I am not really fond of the DOF in this shot, the composition is leading my eye towards that lightpole in the backround while the DOF is trying to steer my eye towards those bricks, the outcome is not really what I find pleasing to look at but not a bad shot either, gave a 5.

interesting place...i think it would have been better if either the front or back would have been in focus

Nice effort. I think I would have cropped the lighpole on the left out and cropped out a third of the right side to make it more symmetrical. Like the colors. Good try
