Alyssa C- Switch

The name of this photo is “switch.” I took this image in Ross Bridge on the trail that is near the railroad tracks. This is an image of an electronic switch that is used to change the path on which the trains travel on. My dad gave me some more insight about it because he is a conductor for one of the two major railroad companies here in Birmingham. I edited this image by first applying a filter over it and then sharpening the cracks of the paint. the edges of the screws, and the leaves or pine needles. To finish the photo I created a nice vignette around the left and right sides of the image. I really wish that some of the paint cracking could have come out sharper or more focused so that I would have been able to create that nice edge that would have added to the amount of detail in the image. I love the transformation from how the image looked before though. I really wanted to have as much detail as possible.
