When I first shot this photo, I was struck by the various colors in the bridge supports. I also really like the sense of depth seen in the bridge as it extends toward downtown. The city itself sits in the background, a goal which can be reached only after crossing the bridge. I also like the way that both the bridge and the city are reflected in the river and creates a bit of symmetry.
After taking a few shots of the city skyline by itself, I found the pictures to be kind of flat and lifeless. The statue in the foreground gives a bit of context and depth to the photo, as if I'm looking over the man's shoulder as he watches over the city beyond. A little editing in Lightroom got rid of the bright white of the sky and brought out the rich blues and a few feathery clouds.
Pittsburgh isn't all bright and beautiful. In this alley, I felt crushed and surrounded by buildings. Only a small sliver of very white sky pierces the shadows of the alley. Not the most pleasant view, but it shows a less publicized reality of the urban landscape.
