Of the 4 I would go with #3. It actually has some nice muted colors, but needs some work. I used basic levels and curves to pop the image and the sharpening mask and it came to life. It doesn't work as well in black and white. Good luck!

snickerbell-

I'm sorry, but I'm having trouble with all the trees-

any way that you can reshoot?-

can you get right up next to the bridge and shoot some kind of wide angle on it or some kind of interesting perspective and lose the trees?-

maybe it's just me-

thanks much for sharing-

sounds like a neat place to take photos-

as saurora said, you need to tweak, or 'pop'--see davidto's pop tutorial under how to here on dg-

maybe tone-

this is probably a little too dark but maybe give you an idea-

good luck with the contest-
