...Sorry Mike...But with this image I practiced my cloning, there sure was alot I cloned, any pipe, rope or debris I could find. Also tried to build a wall in place of the trees and fence.....I see I have much room for improvement...but after 3 hours I had enough....I did a tighter crop even though I liked the grassy area. I wish I could have enhanced the sky a bit but don't know how. Adjusted the contrast and saturation. This is what you get from a beginner Ü

Took the painterly route, Michael and my steps are in the description below "my" take on the image. This was fun, although it felt a bit like plaigarism.

Whoops I went to the wrong place. Here is what I did. Cloned out the construction stuff. Cropped. Did a high pass at 20.5, linear burn, opacity at 59%.
You all were right This is fun.

Don't have a lot of time this week, so here's my version. Was going for a kind of HDR look. Not sure if I even got in the same stratosphere as the HDR.

I like this idea for posting much better Aimee.

Well, I'm not sure I remember what all I've done to this but I'll give it a go. I cloned out the hooks/lines from the cranes, the barbed wire fencing, and replaced all of the construction fencing and materials by cloning in the grassy areas from the left side of the image. I cloned out some construction debris from around the stones in the front center of the image as well. I increased the saturation and adjusted the hues for the blue sky, I overlayed a high-pass filter on a layer, used a color burn, did a lot of noise reduction-several times, used the Distort-Glow filter, and can't remember what else. I almost cropped, but decided I liked the feel of all the ruins sliding down the hillside - so kept the full image as is. I think I merged the layers and then reduced the image size to save as a .tiff. And that's all this tired, old brain can remember.
