I wasn't sure that this image worked, with the chain link fence in the foreground. So, I'm posting it for feedback. The house was a cute but not photogenic vinyl sided cottage. To make it a bit more interesting as a background element, I used NIK's FLUX, sparingly for a grungy effect. Still not happy with it, I tried darkening it........that took me to NIK's Low Key filter to reduce the lighting in the entire image. I really love working with that filter, but only certain images work well with it.
The rest was shadow work, with the usual shadow relief tools. All in all, I like it better than I did, but would like feedback on that fence as an enhancer or detractor.
I've gotten used to it being there, but fresh eyes always help. Credit, where credit is due..........Thanks to Hillary, for showing that the "dark side" can work so well.
Hope you like it...........







........the fence post is too centered, and I blew the left wheel. I think I was focusing on the view of the cottage I wanted....oh well! I will lighten it up a bit, just to take a look. Thanks........I just may go back and take another whack at it!
