The Process
This is one of those photos you take and immediately write off, until its post-processing time.
This was taken at Indian Springs Metropark in White Lake, Michigan. At the "exploration center" is their pond room. A glass dome underneath a pond. The glass can't be cleaned more than twice a year, because normally it is quite dim and difficult to see through, let alone take a photo.This visit must have been shortly after a cleaning because it was bright and the glass wasn't covered in algae and/or fish poop.
Nonetheless, after looking at the photo I wasn't happy with the results. But after a dash of Dehaze and a sprinkle of color correction, I was astonished. I still had to "Content Aware" away some spots that showed up on the glass, add a couple Grad filters, and wah lah [sp?] you have the results in the middle photo.
Then for no reason in particular other than further experimentation, I played with filters in VSCO [x3] until I landed on the B&W version you see on the right
