Description
Colorized photo from 1905
Original title: The Bridge, Lincoln park
Photographer: Detroit Publishing
Location: Lincoln Park, South Pond, Chicago, IL
As pretty as this bridge is, there was very little info on it. It had one name I found, Boathouse Bridge, otherwise it was simply known as The Bridge. No idea when they removed it or why, other than it probably fell apart. Nearby this was something called suicide bridge or high bridge. Which eventually did fall apart.
Anyway, I chose green because almost every bridge I've seen was green, and it was a light color of some kind. I also wanted a green theme. Though I'd rather have seen it as an Autumn scene to help separate the colors. However the evidence shows this is summer, with a boy in shorts, a guy without his jacket, even the girls have their sleeves rolled up.
I cloned out a distracting flag pole and a weird dark shadow. I also cloned the girl on on the right. Even after I tried a different set of colors on her, she still looked like a horse on her side. Its far less distracting now. Because once you see it, you cannot un-see it.
