Theme: Shadows
I had this file of some bridge shadows, so I played in Topaz adjust (mostly in details) and then tweaked it in PS with contrast, saturation, and a couple hue channels. I kind of like the way the dead pine needles show on the deck of the bridge (your mileage may vary :D).
Dave, Beautiful use of shadows and the pine needles add something special to the texture of the deck which the Topaz enhanced nicely. IMO this would be a stronger image if the front rail post were not hanging on the edge (very minor). Very well done!!!
Dave, I love the repeating shadows of the fence and the effect you used in Topaz. I also like the extra color
that you added.

Thanks Denise and Cheryl. Funny that you should mention that front post. I had done a slight rotation in Lightroom to get those posts all straight up and down and the resulting crop landed that post right on the edge. I was so pleased that I got them straight, I didn't notice the tension of the edge :( Looks like I'll need to crop in a touch more. Let's see if this presents better. I cropped in from the right and up from the bottom to maintain the perspective.
Dave, Re-post looks great!!
