The evening rush hour over the Forth Road Bridge.

I framed up so that the staircase provided a nice lead in towards the bridge.

The sun was dipping nicely, giving a lovely warm hue to the foreground. I balanced the sky using a Cokin P121S grad.

On a sidenote, I posted a a question in the Digital Imaging forum about putting images on the web. When posting, the colours aren't coming through as I'm seeing them in PS.

I was told to change my colour space to sRGB, and that should solve the problem, but I'm not sure that it has - I had to add a Saturation layer of +37 to get the colours to reproduce properly here before posing; any suggestions?

Thanks for looking,
Michael. Smile

The staircase does act as a good lead-in but I like it's emptiness in contrast to traffic on the bridge. A very well considered imgage.

This is the best photo of the bridge I've ever seen. It shows real vision.

The composition works very well. The colours look good. I, too, have probs even after converting to sRGB and have to boost the colours... very frustrating isn't it : (

At least I'm not alone, Jeanie, if you're having the same problems too.

Great composition, two brilliant leads that take the eye to the sunset. Overall an excellent shot.
