Cobbtown Church

[Judy Howle]

HDR from 3 images processed with Nik HDR Efex. Topaz Adjust and Pixel Bender applied to a duplicate layer and opacity lowered to about 50%. Plus another composite layer with curves adjustment and a little layer masking.

Judy, I really like the composition and subtle filter use. I think the image could take a little bit of sharpening and maybe a touch of saturation, but that's just me. Like it a lot as presented! Would you consider making it into a "grunge look"?

I'm hoping that Cobbtown has a new church.

Judy, I really like the way you presented this old church. I wonder what the sign would look like w/o the filter. I love the vines.:S3:

Nice image and application, Judy.

Well done...

Thanks Kerry! I sharpened and saturated the image a little. Then I started from scratch and created a grungy version. I don't think grunge looks that great on foliage in general. And in this case it was windy which is one reason I used the PB filter to hide the roughness. :w3 I reduced the size a hair as the quality was getting really low and it's less than 30 now so I apologize for that.

Here is a grungy version.

Hey Judy,
I prefer the OP over the grunge! I like the saturation in the repost although I would consider filling in the sky some....mostly UL. I like the look this has very much!

[Judy Howle]

Thanks Mark and Roman! Much appreciated.

Thanks Denise! OK one more version with sign more grungy :S3:

Hi Judy, I really like pane #9 the best. very nicely processed image! :S3:

[Judy Howle]

Thanks Andrew! Everyone's comments helped me to improve the image.

Nicely processed. I think I like the OP, but pane 9 also looks good. They all look good, actually. I'm distracted a bit by the light sky in ULC. Nice work.
