First shot of the 30 D.O.T. side challenge. I got started a day late. Oh well. I'll probably miss a few along the way.

Edting:

Camera RAW adjustments:
Slight exposure adjustment
Sharpen
Bring up shadows
Contrast

Photoshop adjustments:
Curves
Vignette
Added a texture layer for grunge effect

This is the very first time I have EVER done a "grunge" style picture. I enjoy the grunge look that alot of people do. I certainly like the grunge fad much more than the HDR fad. However, I don't see myself doing many of these kinds of images I don't think.

Nice! I like the subtle lighting and the tones here. That texture works really well.

Glad you joined us; post what and when you can, no worries! I think the look here is very effective, too, though some of the texture moves from the wood across the angel, which is a bit disconcerting. I might have tried to mask her out in the texture layer, and then have a separate texture layer over just her (masking out the rest). By the way, that might be the entirely wrong thing to do, as I've never done a "real" grunge shot!

Yes- I agree very nice processing here. I love the old-fashoined look.

Excellent texture. The grunge makes it look really antique. Good use of thirds.

Everything goes together here. The grunge layer was a good choice. It really gives it an old-fashioned look.
