Another take on this small country town's central railway crossing...
Nothing special, just something to share...
All with no PP other than in-camera JPEG adjustments.

Yellow filter applied to this scene:

Yellow extract tool on this one:

I really dig the mood set by the first one - nice job, Ash.

Much appreciated.

You did an excellent job finding a shot fit for color extraction like your last one. It has a harmony (for lack of better word) that most color extracts don't and is an interesting shot to boot. Good work.

Nice photos Ash - The clashing white balance in the first shot sort of bugs my brain (the whites on the signal arm in the foreground look a little green to me), but I really like the second and third shots. Great action in the second, and I really like the composition of the third - I love the coloring here, and with exception of the desaturated sky, it looks completely natural... very nice!

Ahh, well #1 and #3 originals are here for comparison:

The effects were done experimentally - I've never used the K20D's filters before, so thought to try them out...
