Old Grain Silo - Makeover

Jason Cole · 19th of December 2011 (Mon)

So I was out at Wallenbeen yesterday and I saw this old Silo, the guy there says I'm ok to take a photo, but why would I want to take a photo of such a boring old building... you should have seen his eyes yesterday when I dropped off the print to him... I'm going to make this into a tutorial in the new year... so keep an eye out on my Youtube channel JCPDVD. Would you be interested in seeing the process of converting this image?

Any suggestions for improvement or general critique are very welcome too.

BEFORE - This was a Canon RAW file I originally shot dark to keep detail in the sky

AFTER

And a merry Xmas to everyone too

Its actually really easy, when I do the tutorial I will post it here... im going to photoshop this image from above to below, all the little details that make the final image really striking... post time for this image was around ten minutes....
