Motif- Mackinac Bridge- daylight,

Ken's night image inspired me to try working with my shot.
We were returning from the upper peninsula and it was near mid day when we came to the bridge. The light was less than favorable but there as a sign for "viewpoint", so I turned off to see what was there , and went past the viewpoint to a place where I could get some foreground. The only option was a silhouette shot with the tree and the rivlet in the foreground. As I was working in photoshop, I was amazed to see how much shadow detail and color I was able to bring out on the tree plus to get some blue reflection in the little creek on the lower left. All in all I am more pleased than I thought I would be given what I started with. I did have a nice sky with angry looking clouds and some blue so that wa a plus.
When we returned, I saw the viewpoint view and it was disappointing with only water foreground and the bridge. Not a wonderful view, except for night shooting. 1Ds, 28-135 IS @85mm, ISO 250, 125@f16
