Photographers Note:
A disused railway bridge rusting away and quickly becoming the colour of the surrounding rocks! I would like to crop out some of the bottom right but then I would lose the mountain in the background!

Tried to submit my alternative take but failed. In short I'd crop the bottom and right...to bring out the bridge and to elimiate the brown patch in the bottom right-end corner.

Hi Russ. This is indeed a tricky crop. Eliminating the brown patch also, as you noted, eliminates that cliff and part of that open area that looks like the road's destination. Rather than try to eliminate it, I attempted to just minimize it such that at least the brown patch doesn't look like a pull out/look out area on the side of a road. I intended to make it a little more like a natural outcropping. I almost feel like the crop is too tight, though, for the kind of scenery in the picture. It's such a nice, wide open space. I also darkened highlights and boosted saturation a tad to make it look a little brighter.
