Here are my takes on this splendid shot.....


Firstly colour.....

And then B&W - Persoanlly, I think I prefer the B&W

Would you guys be interested in doing a 3 EV bracketed shot?

Oh yes

Seems a bit forward of you to ask. Oh, wait a sec. Photography. Yeah, sure.

I'd fancy a try. Evidently I'd try to do it in one shot.

Just found this thread.
This is a really great shot in the first place.

Here is my edit, thought I'd try using Topaz ReStyle.

 

[wornish]

2nd go - Used a trial version of Topaz Impression to see what it can do.

Since everyone is being artsy, I can't but do my share.

With a few tweaks.

Wow Dave! You're going all out on this one.:hororr::congratulatory:

Oh yes

i just got home, so it'll be a few minutes before I decide which one to put up. I took a bunch of bracketed ones, so I'll try to get the best one up here.

I like this one @Felisek. I'm liking the soft sky. Dramatic skies are ok, but after a while it gets boring.

How did you get the girl to move over? LOL. I would have loved it if she weren't standing so close to the end of the stone barrier. The reason I shot it like that, is because right next to her, there was a parked car. To my eye she is was off to the right, but you brought her back in.

 

[Blacktop]

Here we go. Lets do some HDR or or whatever you want. I'm working on mine now.

I would like that green box to disappear.

One shot had no relevant data clipped so it was enough to adjust exposures locally. I decided to go slightly smooth.

I just said, "Young lady, would you kindly get over here where I can focus better?"

I used PSE magnetic select tool and traced here outline, created a new layer via copy, erased the tidbits that walked over with her, slide her over to the left, and then cropped her former self off the right side.

My take.
