Description

One day I will have to work out how my style of photography developed. No doubt is is entirely due to the influences on DA that I have absorbed. I will have to list people like raun and Tfavretto and many others who have subconciously pushed me along a path to what I hope is a style of my own.
This is a single shot converted into a 5 tiff 5 exposure group of files that were processed thru photomatix with a little more omph than I usually do and then levels and selective colours combined with a little burning. One other thing. With the silo and tree and the 10mm lens set at 12mm the verticals seemed to fall in on each other. To counter I made a blank canvas slightly larger and dragged the orginal pic into it and then by draging on the handles created by edit transform distort (PS9 ) I was able to correct some of the distortions.. double click and flatten to finish.
What do you reckon?

Very nice, as ever.
Like some people though, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place with the tree/contrast of the foreground. Whilst it does seem a little too dark, it also adds to the mood, esp as it looks like rain is coming over to spoil the day.

overall though, good stuff
