Need some creativity here..

[iluvphotography]

I was just walking by this demolition site and I thought if I take a picture of it, I might be able to do some cool things in Photoshop with it. I only had my point & shoot camera with me so I took some shots. Then came home and I tried different things in PS but nothing exciting.. I guess I am not creative enough.. So I wanted to see what all you creative people come up with...

Might have looked good in HDR, but you would need 3? different exposures I think

nice destruction pic though

Hmmmm, I really like this. I have class in a little bit, I'll have to see if I can do something cool with it when I get back.

Edits I did (not in order, just some things I did to it) :
curves
dodge/burn
unsharp mask
warmed it up
desaturated the highlights a little

Yeh you guys are right.. It would have been better in HDR but I didn't think about it at the time besides I only had a Point and Shoot camera with me. Although I think I could have played with exposure a bit to to creat HDR.

Played with levels, sharpened, adj colors, that's all I remember doing. Probably did a few other things. OH, applied a gradient making it darker up top and getting lighter towards the bottom.
