Breaking continuity to go back into the archives (summer of aught two, to be exact). A heeeuge bout of procrastination saw me digging through a lot of old files and trying out PS ND effects on the cornucopia of washed out skies I've managed to collect over the years. I blame Stefan. Thanks a lot for your PS tips, Stefan! :)
The old wooden Kiskatinaw Bridge, built on an obsolete bit of the Alaska Highway, was constructed by U.S. Army Engineers during the 1940s and has a nifty 9 degree curve.
Not knowing what the original looked like, it is difficult to see that you did any edits here (which is what you want of course). The sign is a little problematic in a way: it is intended to call a driver's attention but it's function is directly translated into the visual domain - it stops my scan of the image quite emphatically and I almost have to struggle to get beyond it and onwards to that curving rail! In fact it is so strong I find it amusing, a visual/graphical joke of sorts. An alternative could be to shoot from a higher vantage point (standing on a car or what have you) to put the sign a little more into the corner of the frame while also revealing the entirety of the rail.
Well, whatever you did to the sky certainly worked well - it looks great! What a wonderful old bridge, too - the reflective sign adds an unexpected punch to this!
