Another shot of the Adams Plaza Bridge to the part finished Canary Wharf Crossrail Station. This is taken from inside the Tunnel/Bridge looking towards the Crossrail Station. I am fairly sure that nobody else has given the bridge this treatment with a zoom effect applied using Topaz Lens Effects. The people at the end were ideally placed.

The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 mm lens at 10mm. No HDR this time with the processing starting out with some RAW editing including Recovery and Clarity.

I improved the symmetry using the straighten and crop tools. Topaz Clarity was used for more detail, next the image was adjusted in Topaz lens effects to add a zoom blur. The zoom centre was fixed on the people in the distance. The effect was applied on a duplicate layer and a layer mask. A brush was then used to exclude more of the people in the distance.

Many pictures of the bridge are presented in mono as there is not a lot of colour in the original. However I wanted to keep a touch of colour. I added a bit more with Topaz Glow Neon effect on a layer reduced to just a touch of it left by reducing the layer opacity down to 15%
