Quick one from NYC

[joe1978]

Spent a few days in NYC back in November and went a bit snap happy :nuts:
took this from a view point on The High Line down W15th St.
Been practicing with a little PP on this so would really like some opinions on this.

Not fully, Adrian.

After converting to B&W and some levels and contrast adjustment I copied onto another layer, applied a generous amount of gausian (sp) blur then used layer masks to paint the bridge back into focus.

I like the effect but it instantly stood out as being faked :shrug: now if you'd have also made the building on either side at the same level of the bridge sharp then I think that it would have made it more realistic and would have worked a lot better the potential is there

I know what you mean Matt, I did pull the sharpness away from where bridge met the building as it looked REALLY fake then, thought I got away with it aswell!
