This picture is taken at Dutch Village, Holland, Michigan. The bright white colored bridge shining in the morning light caught my attention while visiting the Dutch Village. The red colored roofs add variety in the otherwise monotonous view.

Processing - Cropped and resized for TL, Reduced Brightness to lessen the effect of extra exposure, added some contrast, saturation and sharpness. Added borders.

Hello Ajit
In order to do this, I first deleted the frame (magic wand -> Ctl X)
Then I cropped a little to straighten the perspective. I saved that and then cropped again, this time tilting the image to the right to make up for the tilt to the left. At higher magnification I noticed a little noise in the sky, so I selected the sky and applied a smart blur of 3 pixel allowance.
Finally, I added a 1 pixel wide flag pole to each of the flags with the pencil tool using the colour of the original flag pole(the originals had been tilted and then got blurred when I reduced the noise in the sky)
Finally I added a frame of the same size as the original.
I hope you like the result
Thanks for letting my play with your picture
Cheers
Silke
