The base photograph for this one was taken by my daughter Julia, who offered her shot to me to play around with for this challenge. This photo was taken during a very windy heavy rain storm. You can see her version here: http://www.pbase.com/jllewis/image/48198669.

I started with the original file, cropped it, played around with it in CS4, though I can't remember which trials ended up staying in the image. I also added the sky from a photo I took of a cloudy winter sunset, colorized to blend into the original between the layers, to give a bit more texture to the sky.
