 The image was taken as a desat using the color ascent feature of my camera. The second pillar and parts of the bridge lack red which might hurt the image in voting.

Underappreciated, IMO. It has a perfect old-timey, colorized feel to it. Well done!

I think this photo would have been much better without the selective desaturation. The contrast of the photo is good, and the view from what appears to be the South East side is unique. Good composition too!

What an excellent composition, shame the shoddy editing doesn't fit my tastes and points have to be deducted because the bridge is red and grey in some areas, its distracting enough for me to nitpick. I still love the view. 6

Why on earth did you choose to ruin your picture with that selective saturation? And after you decided to do it why did you decide to do it so badly?
Could have been a nice picture though...

Well done. It does look like a hand colored pic from the days of old.
