Helpful Posts: I shot this in Tennesee. I always felt it needed a train on the tracks, but I also like how the trestle looks on its own. Does it work for you? Comments and processing suggestions are welcomed. I'm going offline for several days, so my response could be delayed.

Re: Train Trestle
It works for me and looks even better as a higher resolution image.
The only thing I would change is a couple of leaves in the bottom right corner which seem out of place; so I would clone them out.

Re: Train Trestle
Such a small detail that I never would have noticed but I agree it is an improvement. Thank you, Geoff

See the quote in my signature line below; i.e. - "As in a Cézannes painting, everything depicted is critical to the structural integrity of the picture". Originally Posted by escape

Re: Train Trestle
One technique that I was taught many years ago was to run my eyes around the perimeter of the frame in the viewfinder. If there is anything amiss, like something that crosses or is close to the edge of the image frame and is distracting, I would find it and recompose to fix that issue.
This technique works best when shooting with a tripod (something I do as much as possible) as nothing moves in the viewfinder. I do the same thing when I frame up the finished image; a quick view around all the edges of the frames identifies distractions that need to be fixed.

Re: Train Trestle
Good advice, many times I have struggled to remove something in PP that could have been avoided if I had looked around the edges when framing the shot.

Re: Train Trestle
This was the beauty in using a waist level viewfinder which gave a reversed image. One tended to look at the screen rather than through it. A plate camera was even better with the image being upside down as well. It was supprising what one saw.
