Very good. You've really caught the heft, the industrial aggresiveness and environmental insensitivity of this structure. High marks!
bbence said 517 days ago:
I like this one, it has a strong industrial feeling and looks "dirty", but still cool!
CraigMartin said 517 days ago:
This has an owen-b feel to it...I really want to know how you create the "coffee stains in the corners" effect in these shots.
And cool shot of the bridge. I like the industrial and decaying feel to it.
CraigMartin said 517 days ago:
ooops...I have joined the crowd of people guessing wrong on photographers...but I still want to know how you produced the effect in the sky and water at the corners...

Hi everyone, thank you for your comments.
Craig, I admit I don't know who owen-b is, but I will now definitely go and find out. :)
George, it is a bridge over the Danube indeed.
As for the effect, I used another picture - taken of a burnt and crumpled sheet of paper - as texture and blended it onto this one. I wanted it to look like an old postcard or photo.

Thanks for the info. It turns out, I was even wrong about owen-b!! I had been thinking of a particular shot from two themes ago, and mistakenly thought it was one of own-b's. Here is the shot I was thinking of:

Here is one of owen-b's, which is not quite the same:

Interesting gritty feel which I quite like. Looks like one of the bridges across the Danube in Budapest. I remember in the 70s how dirty everything was from coal and diesel burning. This evokes that feeling.
