Thanks for looking and commenting.
This shot has had a ton done to it, it may be the most work I've put into a shot.
It was a very dismal day that resulted in a very flat lifeless image.
I believe there was some HDR toning, some work with a Topaz plugin, plus
just a touch of the Oilpaint plugin to actually tone down the over sharpening.
nice image! i like the pov and processing! wonderful detail! it's a shame we lose all the original image info once we process, but i don't know how to get it all back for these challenges. shu ???
