If I am not mistaken, that is the John A Roebling Suspension bridge which crosses the Ohio River connecting Cincinnati Ohio and Covington Kentucky. The view is from the Kentucky side looking north to the Cincinnati skyline. Construction began in 1856 and continued through the Civil War. Completed in 1866, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. It was the inspiration for the Brooklyn Bridge, also designed by John A Roebling, though he died before it was completed.

A very detailed image and a delight to play with.

You are correct, Glenn5995!

Awesome job so far, everyone! I'm gonna have to get real nit-picky to select the next host! Keep them coming!

I forgot to list the end date. I'll try to close the challenge late on Sunday, so 4 days to go.

It's that time again! The Challenge is now closed, and I must select a new host.
Although there weren't that many participants this week, I really enjoyed seeing the wonderful work each of you did with this image.

Glenn5995, Excellent work as always. You really put a lot of work into this image and came up with 5 versions. I especially liked the first 2. I also find it cool you are encouraging your daughter in post-processing.

Todd, Your entries seem to always be among my favorites. Your first entry is very well done (although the bridge is missing a couple things), and I really liked the mind-bending 3rd entry. I still don't know how you did that.

ismaelg, The bridge is perhaps a tad over-saturated, but otherwise a very well-done version.

dcshooter, I like the dark and moody tones you came up with as well as the artsy border.

JHfwp, Your entry was very well done, although the shadows are a little bright for a night scene.

Bruce Clark, I really like the darker shadows and exposure here. Perhaps a little warm and saturated for my tastes.

Capmazariegos, I like the cooler tones and the choice of crop. The foliage creeping into the bottom left is a little distracting. Very well done.

Audra, Your second entry was my favorite of yours. You did a lot of very nice work here, including cleaning up the debris in the river. It won't be long until you are beating your father's work! Excellent job!

And the new host is............

Glenn5995! Everyone did so well this round that I had to get real nit-picky. I really liked the color balance, saturation levels and the nice clean crop. You managed to find plenty of details in the bright crowns of the bridge. You went above and beyond the competition when you climbed on top of the bridge to replace not one, but TWO burned out light bulbs! It doesn't hurt, that you got the "bonus points" by providing the bridge information, though you really didn't need the bonus points. Congratulations! I look forward to you hosting Post-Processing Challenge 213.

Thanks once again Dave for hosting and judging and providing a fun image to pixel mash! And congrats to Glenn for another well deserved win! You always set the bar high for us and I appreciate that.

JHfwp · 03-06-2017, 12:00 AM

Great job Glenn & thanks for hosting, AZ Dave.

**Glenn5995** · 03-06-2017, 06:34 AM

Thank you Arizona Dave for hosting 212 and for the wonderful image to work with. Thank you Todd and JHfwp for the kind words and everyone who participates in this challenge and keeps it going.

I will get something for 213. It may not be until tomorrow as I have a busy day today. Hopefully you will find it worthy of your efforts.

**Glenn5995** · 03-07-2017, 07:20 PM

Sorry for the delay in getting 213 going, but is now ready for your participation!
