Very nicely done image. I get sort of a solitary feeling from it. Helen

This from one IR image that I individually cut out each element into
separate layer masks and hand coloured it. To get the colour right I used
the eye dropper tool from a regular colour photo taken in the same spot. The
paint brush tool is then used in colour mode. Each layer is blended at
roughly 90% with the base monochrome image and then flattened. The base
monochrome IR image was prepared first by selectively lightening and
darkening areas using levels, dodge and burning.

Chris,

I fell in love with this image the moment I saw it. If I am not mistaken you took two shots (1 colour & 1 IR) and you used parts of both. I love the drama in the stormy sky contrasted to the tranquility of the sunny grass. And all of this is underpinned by the careful placement of the tower.

Keep up the good work

Luben
