Converting the image to black and white dampened that bright area and helped balance the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also bright and shiny was the brass gauge itself.  That bright spot dominated the image and prevented the eye from wandering to more interesting things.   Keeping the red in the valves during the black and white conversion adds depth to the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/stea\/index.htm\" title=\"\">Steamtown National Historic Site<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/bXpzZrUQq7p6PN4LA\" title=\"\">41.407301\u00b0 -75.671255\u00b0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nikon D810, 1\/25 sec, f\/9.0, 38mm, ISO 200 This is another image that I composed&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[723,663,618,720],"class_list":["post-2884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pennsylvania","tag-nathan-water-level-gauge","tag-pennsylvania","tag-photography","tag-steamtown-national-historic-site"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2884"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2884\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2920,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2884\/revisions\/2920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
