This will probably make some of you cringe, but my normal routine after doing my pp work is to dump the original and any other versions I created along the way. I find no need to have that sort of thing clogging up my hard drive nor being forced to wade through yet an even greater sea of image files when looking for one particular shot. But for some reason, I felt compelled to do a bit more experimentation with regard to this image and see if there were any other interpretations I could possibly come up with. The image by its self is far from inspiring and the first post of it left me feeling sort of ho-hum. So I retrieved the original HDR I had created and decided to force myself to come up with at least 2 other versions that wouldn't have me running in embarrassment.
This turned out to be a much more difficult task to accomplish than I thought....particularly when working on the third version. I found it very challenging to "turn off" the elements of the first two versions to make something distinctive of the third.
So, as you can see by the name....here is version 2. I will post version 3 in a day or so.
I know some of you are really up for this sort of thing so I would highly encourage you to do the same experiment. It is always interesting when I have been apart of challenges started by some of my other Flickr contacts...(you know the kind...download an image and lets see what everyone else comes up with). But when YOU are the one coming up with all the other versions.....it does push you to think.
Hope you enjoy and let me know which of the 3 is your favorite.
