 I was lost in Gunsan looking for Kunsan Air Base and saw this church so I had to stop and take a photo of it. I am not sure that it will do that well inthe Sepia Challenge, but I figured I would give it ago.

I opened the photo with ACR and then ran the Sahdow/Highlight adjustment. I followed that with a perspective crop to straighten it all out, then ran the Black and White adjustment layer and added the Sepia toning with that. I then ran a levels adjustment layer to bosst the contrast a bit. Ran Nik Dfine 2.0 for noise removal, then smart sharpened. Resized with bicubic sharpening and then added the border and finished with Save For Web.

My prediction is a 5.2xx, but after the last entry I might be lucky to hit a 4.8xx!

Sharp, nicely composed and interesting to look at. Has an awkward glowing halo around it though.....
