About the Image(s)

This is a composite of a seascape and a bridge.
Fairly straightforward - used Photoshop and Topaz Studio for post processing.
The idea was to have the bridge disappear into the water.
As always, appreciate all your comments and suggestions.

Your image is an amazing creation, very interesting. But, to me my eye is drawn only to the center of the image. I feel the image needs something of interest away from the center. I've tried but cannot come up with any suggestions.   Posted: 05/09/2023 07:30:02

Impressive results can be made by flipping and duplicating and your original was a prime candidate for such treatment. I am drawn to the horizontal line in the center of the image which I feel is distracting and rather gives the game away. Jim is right something of interest in the center to give a finishing touch; perhaps a boat would fit the bill?   Posted: 05/13/2023 14:52:42

Interesting treatment, but I don't much like the pale blank highlight in the centre. I am not sure how to improve that. I think that grabs the eye too much. The original is also a strong image.   Posted: 05/20/2023 03:42:27

Gunter,
It looks like you did th same thing I did, which was to duplicate, flip, duplicate ad flit again, but you added the water to the image making it much more interesting than mine. I think you have achieved what you tried to do very well, It is an exciting image. As for the line that passes in the middle, it doesn't bother me, but if you want to get rid of it , just use content share on the healing brush and draw a line through it.
I like the bright center with draws our eye into the image and the raging water which gives it a sense of energy.   Posted: 05/21/2023 14:15:03
