My take on the Clements Bridge

Here is my take on the Clements Bridge. I know it was kind of a long drive for most of you but it seems to have been fairly popular. For me it was on the way home so I missed out on the evening shooting.

I cloned out some twigs in the foreground and the "new" bridge in the background.

Nice work in cloning the branches Ken. That does seem to clean things up a bit. There also seems to be a little less contrast than the others posted, which gives it a softer look. Very pleasing scene. Why didn't you guys get Wayne to do a cloud dance or something?

Tried to look at the others, but appear to be password protected...

Sorry Bill, I didn't even know that my galleries were locked. (I must have done it by mistake)

Thanks for looking

Real nice work Ken, I like this version too. It seems like you achieved a lower vantage point than others and took it a step further eliminating some distracting limbs. I like the reflection and few wind blown ripples on the water's surface. Well done.

Nice shots. I really loved the shot "P2200650.jpg", the colors in the sky, grass, and the way the rocks anchor the foreground is great.

Hey Ken, I like the shots you did on the Konza. The inclusion of the rocks in the fg creates a good anchor for the shots. Your bridge shot is great. I was able to get rid of the "new" bridge without a problem, but when I worked on the limbs it just didn't work. You are much better at it than I am....

Really nice job on the bridge and great cloning work. You handled the exposure really mine. Mine were kind of bright... My brain cells were pretty gone by the time we got to the bridge thanks to my cold.

You got some nice stuff over the weekend. I really liked the 3rd shot on your web site. Those rocks do make a good anchor to the scene.
