A very simplified rendition of the GG Bridge and Alcatraz. It happened when the GND filter I had attached to the lens created serious ghosting and I decided to shoot without it. Somehow the extreme difference in illumination caused the sepia tone effect and loss of most detail, except on the water. I left it alone for almost two month, but looked at it again this morning. I saw that the loss of detail actually creates a very strong composition. So I processed it to exaggerate the sepia effect and make it look almost like a graphic.

A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.

A great example of 'less is more' Jens.

The subtle suggestions of the different elements here has resulted in a very evocative and appealing image IMO. Well done!
