Trying something different here and I thought it was pretty successful. Wondering what everyone else thinks.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

It is possible to blow shadows in the same way that you blow highlights, and unless my monitor is off, that's what you've done here.

The composition is superb! I like it! Congratulations! yeah, the sun was almost down but the strange colors only popped out of the photo with the processing. It was otherwise a very drab shot...on the verge of a throw away. but, I'm happy with the way it turned out.

In some ways it's like the HDR effect that we see so much of. Bob
