Downtown Beneath Stone Arch

This is a composite of a photograph of the Stone Arch Bridge and a photograph of Downtown Minneapolis as seen from the University Walking Bridge. But of course this blended image is not what you see when you cross that bridge. The City, which abuts the Mississippi River is in the river in this image and the Stone Arch Bridge, which connects the City and St. Anthony Main, now stands over the City. Along the way of editing the images, I discarded two or three versions that just did not work well. I went through a lot of experimentation, applying various blend modes, different levels of opacity and a number of masks to get a look I was pleased with. It is colorful and it is busy. It draws me in.
