was looking at some old shots saw this one think it was taken one a frosty day so used as a single image tried to do some tonemapping with photmatix also increased contrast and shadows reduced saturation was quite pleased with the result and thought id share to see what you thought of it
ty for looking a brief note of the abbey is below


Description:
One of the four great Border Abbeys built during the 12th century. Home of the Cistercian Order in the reign of David I. Originally very plain, when it was rebuilt in the 15th century, it became very ornate. Much still standing. Reputed to be the burial place of the heart of Robert the Bruce.

Your PP work works beautifully to produce a shot with a surreal feel to it. It's helped by the fact that you started with a very nicely composed image. A top shot!

Bryan,
The tonemapping worked well with the contrast between green and sky. Good composition placing the building higher.
Cheers,
Wellington

Hi Bryan,
Beautiful shot of the abbey, nice PoV and great detail, if I have one criticism it would be the oe in the sky, I think hitting this spot with the burn tool would take the glare out. Great overall shot nicely presented. TFS

Hi Bryan, good detail on the shot, the contrast with the shadows works well.

Personally, I would have preferred a horizontal image for this photo, Bryan. Sometimes you can "overdo" your contrast and filter work. I think a more "normal" photograph would have worked well here, especially with the great shadow details and color of the old building.

Salam Bryan

Regardless of some texture fragment due to heavily post proccess, the final result is very amazing here
Great dynamic tonal range and brightness levels
Excellent architectural art in this old monument

Thanks for sharing, Alireza
