Okay, so I just got back from two weeks in the UK, and I've got this nice infrared shot of Stonehenge. I shot 3 separate sections with my 70-200mm, then stitched them together in Photoshop. I used a Hoya 72 infrared filter on the lens. I like it as it is, but I think it needs some Photoshop magic to be a wall hanger. I tried adding some ground fog, and that helped, but not enough.

Alright you wizards of PP, have at this shot and see what you can come up with. I have Photoshop CS3, if that matters. I'll need to know the step-by-step process you used, as I'm no genius when it comes to this stuff.

My sincerest thanks ahead of time to all of you.

Quick doge/burn and contrast increase of the middle stones. I don't have PS unfortunately so I can't show you exactly what I did.

Thanks, guys. I like the tweaks. Edsport, I laughed my ass off at the astronaut.

Any way to make it look more mysterious? I tried some fog, but I don't think I did a very good job with it. I added a moon, but that just looked fake.

I don't know. Maybe I should be happy with just a nice shot of a cool place.

try going back when there actually is fog, ... or a moon, or better conditions altogether.

I wish I could. The trip to the UK was a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
