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.

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:
