photo taken in the ghost town of Rhyolite Nevada on our travels. The gold ran out and the town died.

A great treatment there Bob. Great shot.

**rayallen** · 11-25-2014, 01:19 AM

Yeah, I don't think it will be reopening any time soon. Nice treatment, Bob.

The gold always runs out - a lesson there for all of us

Nice image, good treatment. What did you take it through? Some kind of opening in another building?

**eaglem** · 11-25-2014, 01:39 AM

Well shot and processed........

flaviopetrone · 11-25-2014, 01:55 AM

Very good picture! I'm curious to know in which way you took/edited it to achieve the effects on the borders.

daacon · 11-25-2014, 04:59 AM

A termite haven ...well shot my friend.

Canis · 11-25-2014, 06:21 AM

Turned into a "Gold Mine" for photographers, though. A great photograph!

the filter I used gave it this appearance, it was shot in the open field, turned out weird but I liked it. Thanks for viewing.

I don't think I ever made it there. Google says that building was hit by lightning and burned down in Sept 2014 :-(

**Hattifnatt** · 11-25-2014, 02:30 PM

Great shot, PP adds to the mood! well done.

I converted the original color photo to b/w and darkened it. I used the effects portion of Corel PaintShop and clicked on the illumination effect which added the lights and odd effect. I thought about cloning out the sides but it was different enough I thought it might add some interest, thanks for viewing and the question.
