      Thanks for your good comments.
      I was able to go back to the history of the edits and find the early one without cropping.
      I did what you suggested; as well as leveled it.
      It looks a lot better now.
      Thanks,
      Alex

        Thanks for your helpful comments.
        I keep forgetting about the new adjustment tool in LR 5 to fix the horizon, etc.
        I just hit it and agree I needed to do this before sending out.
        I’ll play around with the different B&W options.

          Unfortunately, I was on a boat passing underneath, and will not be back again.
          I like the idea, however, so if next year I’m there again, I try the diagonal shot.
          Thanks for your comment.

              Appreciate everyones’ comments.
              I specifically have submitted an abstract image because I seem to be attracted to these types of photos and am concerned that they may not really result in anything interesting.
              I will take the suggestions to heart and continue sending in stuff for comments.
              Thanks

                Here is a new one. Do you think this one is improved?

                  Thank you to both of you.
                  The bridge supports were definitely leaning to the right. I have now adjusted them.
                  I am not being successful in bumping up the contrast. When I go to Silver Efex Pro, I can get some of the struts on underside of the bridge to lighten up, but over all it looks a bit strange.
                  should I make the bridge itself blacker so it stands out against the sky?

                                Think it went this time. (Not sure what happened the first time; but for this one I changed the Image Sizing from Megapixels 2.0mps to width & hight 15x 10 cms)
                                Sorry

                                  What about this one? It is also an attempt to bring out texture, and also to highlight the shadow of the railing.

                                    Thanks.
                                    I will go back to the structure sliders to see what I can do.
                                    However, I agree this is not a very interesting photo.
                                    I agree with you.

                                      Wow, I agree with you completely !
                                      I was fooling around with it and also think inverting it is a good idea as well as more clarity.

                                        Thank you. I have been concerned that maybe I have put in too much editing; but nevertheless the result is what i was looking for.

                                          I am having fun creating these “edited” impressions. I guess I will continue with this
                                          type of photography.

                                            Thank you for your reminder to include details, which are:
                                            1/40 sec.; f/8; ISO 400; 60mm (Canon 24-105 f/4L)
                                            Canon 6D.
                                            The photo is a reflection in a pond of trees with spring leaves & flowers.
                                            My intent was to make the photo look like an Impressionist painting.
                                            In order to achieve this effect, I had to “play around” with various filters in
                                            NIK Color Efex Pro 4.
                                            I would like comments on whether it is acceptable to apply such extensive use of editing
                                            to get the type of impression I want to achieve.
