 Today, on the way to my office, I stopped at Subway for a salad. When I was getting back into the car, I noticed this Coke sign against the dark sky, and when I pulled out the trusty camera, a helicopter came along. So I snapped wildly - three photos - none of which showed the chopper in its entirety - this being the best of the three.

Used the photos below and created the image along with a light vignette, some Lucis Exposure, selective saturation, xero clarify, sharpen.

Great find. Don't you just love LucisArt? And, of course, the overlay is great with the subject. It looks like snow flurrying down in a very artsy way!

I just saw this same billboard last night, but never looking quite like this. I like the pp over the original, but think perhaps something a bit darker would keep my eyes on Santa.
