Zakim Bridge Snapshot

I'm psyched attempting to document familiar sights around Boston in, hopefully, a unique way. Here's one of the Leonard P Zakim Bridge.on I-93 in Boston.

Tech talk:
Contrast. Watch photo n00bs edit photos. 9 times out of 10, they will be like "oh contrast, jack that wayyy up." I know because I have certainly been there when I was more of newbie than I consider myself now. The upshot here is that whenever I reach for the "contrast" adjustments, I question 1) What will this do to the overall effect and emotion--do the darkest darks need to be darker, do the brightest brights need to be brighter? 2) how will contrast effect this colors 3) can I accomplish the contrast through simple adjustments such as highlights and darks in regular exposure controls? To me, contrast is the photo-editing equivalent of cilantro; it is always noticeable, it can be the key ingredient, often it's overdone, and occasionally it's horrifically putrid.
