How would you process this?

Further to my comments here http://www.photography.ca/Forums/sug...tml#post157838

I would be intrigued to see what members can do processing this shot. It isn't a brilliant shot, but someone may be able to make something more from it. This is taken straight from the raw file. Either copy the shot below or alternatively the 26Mb raw file can be downloaded here. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4z8nts1n5b..._8758.CR2?dl=0

Be as brutal, imaginative, destructive as you like.

I am looking forward to seeing some great variety

Is cropping allowed?

Is cropping allowed?

Absolutely.. Anything you like

Ok. I have something in mind. I'm at work but when I get off in 9 hours, I will knock it out.

Here is my take

Cool stuff AT.

I have done a couple of versions, but will hold off posting them in case anyone decides they want to play too.

REALLY like your sepia take on this AT - I will play too. Just gimme 24 hours (or so)

[Runmonty]

Looking forward to seeing yours Marko. Any other players?

There probably isn't any reason for me to hold mine back, so here are a couple that I did.

fine attempts so far - Here's my interpretation. I think I overdid the burn at top right but I only spent 5 min here.
In addition I upped the scale and burned the fields and dodged the sky a tad at left and the white clouds at right. also sharpened a bit.
Hope that may help

Another nice interpretation Marko.
