Post-Processing Challenge #38

ozlizard · 01-07-2011, 07:03 PM

Welcome to the 38th post processing challenge. The photo below was taken on a stormy afternoon in the Blackwood River Valley. This unusual cloud formation drifted slowly down the valley.

Now for the challenge, which will be a little bit different this time! Obviously there is some work to be done on this image, eg the dark forground etc. However there is an additional challenge for you.
I felt that there is something missing, I think this image needs to have something in the foreground. So your job is to put that "something" there. Let your imagination soar, anything goes. Having said that, part of this challenge is to make the "object" look as though it belongs, so consider lighting, placement and the overall effect of the photo.
Most photo editing software should have the necessary tools for this type of work so I hope this won't limit anyone.
I will keep this one open for about 2 weeks to give you all plenty of time, so good luck and here are the links;

Here's my entry. I thought the dramatic sky called for some dramatic machinery, so I added a T-72 battle tank!

Some quick editing... Might tinker some more as the week(s) go(es) on...

I generally suck at this kind of editing so here is my lone lame attempt:
I did the editing in topaz adjust, LR3 and Picnic.

A PP that needs absolutely no talent whatsoever but is fun to do. I did convert it to B&W and upped the contrast to 100% before converting to the orb.
