These computer things are amasing. The exposure was so bad in the first one that completely missed the sunset. Well recovered.

Heres what I came up with.

Used Shawdow/Highlight, Levels, Noise Ninja, Curves, Saturation, seperated the sky from the foreground and adjusted exposure, used Noise>Median on the sky, etc.

my try. Discregard the clouds....I decided to try it at the end,but didn't mask anything. Simple hand job. Took me less than 5 minutes for everything.

wow, i like this alot, how did you do that?

Hey nick, Thanks!
I used Photoshop and used the Sepia filter and then upped the contrast to get more black, Then added the film grain from the "filters" drop down menu..it was rather easy actually. I figured everyone was "fixing" the shot, I'd really fix it....lol

My shot at it. Whenever I see these challenges I'm just amazed at what you can do with this software.

zakabog, can you tell me what you did to it?

This is the best I could do: Kodak ROCPro followed by noiseworks x 2 and one more time thru ROCPro

Sorry 4nR didn't see your message. Hmmm well I adjusted the contrast and brightness some. Then the color balance. I paid attention to the detail in the clouds as I didn't want to lose that. Then I selected the sky and inverted the selection (to select everything except the sky.) I adjusted that some till it was bright enough. Then I saw the guy was still too dark so I selected him and adjusted the contrast and brightness some more, and then some color balance. When I was adjusting the color balance I was paying attention to the flag since that's the only thing I really knew the colors for heh.
