Thinking about the past · 03:44 PM

Hello,

The summer ended and I have time to study the the summer pictures.

It was this particular one I wanted to share, Thinking about the past.

The boat is there since WWII and today is about 100m inland burried in the sand dunes.

Quite an intriguing photo.
Where did you get this piece of art?
It's quite a flashback.

Ghostly and intriguing - a dim window into the past.

I have no idea how you did this, but it's impressive.

The original was not very expresfull
You can see it here: Barca_orig

What I did, to the original jpg I applied a HDR: for the grain effect and details enhancement and then I increased the detail factor so everything blends and give the ghosty feeling.

In the link above you will see a the boat only with different processing.

I think I prefer the colour version. It looks more like a painting and that's fine. I almost didn't notice the person the in the BW version. You have what appears to be a lot of dust or rain spots throughout the image.
