Kobra
Having been stuck indoors for a few days and leaving for Washington, Quantico and New York shortly, just as the worst storm of the winter hits the East Coast of the USA, I decided to experiment and re-process some of my old photos. This was taken in 2013, on my wife's 50th and my children's 21st birthday, from the Highline in New York of the oft photographed Kobra wall mural. I duplicated the photo, converted it to b&w, created a layer mask and painted through the colours of the mural while leaving the rest of the photo in b&w, then merged the layers and finally ran everything through a bleach bypass to desaturate the colours and bring out detail in the stonework. Feedback welcome.
