I went out, knowing I was going to shoot something. Came across a minor car accident.

I really like the way the LucisArts brings out all of the details in the firetruck and shingles.

Here's the outtakes:





As an added bonus, if this gets faved 3 times during the challenge...I'm going to donate a framed 8x10 of this to the FD.

I think the processing gives it a cool effect and think you should give a copy to the fire department anyway. :-)

I don't think the post processing helps this photo - the filter detracts from the selective desaturation.

This looks almost posterized. All the fine lines with high contrast make it WAY too busy for me.

Well, I'm not a big fan of selective desaturation in the first place, especially when something is chosen at random to desaturate... and I'm even less of a fan of HDR... I'm sure others will like the result as much as I'm not a fan, though :)

Sorry, I don't like that effect. Too sharp for me. Good luck.

The processing ruins this.

Lots of potential here, but I think this one crossed over into the realm of being over processed. It looks kinda cartoonish.
