The goal in this image was to capture multiple points of color that would translate into an appealing black & white image. In the lesson, it was stressed that a convincing black and white image needs varying levels of shades and tones that mesh throughout. I’m satisfied as the light captures the texture, as well as many shades of color on the bridge pier. I also like the balanced distribution of the lightest areas; the rocks in the lower left and the sky light in the mid/upper right. For edits, I converted to B&W, lowered the highlights, increased contrast, and I painted white over some darker areas with a soft light effect to bring back some detail.
