Here's a shot I got from the passenger side of the van yesterday while stopped at a set of lights. Good ol' 28-200mm made it possible to get it all . I tried various things in PS but wasn't happy with anything I'd done. Anyway, I thought I'd post it untouched except for resizing for posting. Go ahead and show what your processing would be.

This is an interesting version of a grain elevator. The ones around here are huge storage towers.

Maybe that isn't what it is but is is situated by the train tracks so I assume it dumps into a grain car. I know knothing about these things. I also sits beside a feed place so maybe that's what it holds.Big Grin
Here is my rendition. Fixed the perspective as much as possible given the frame constraints. Cloned in additional peices to compensate. Ran a curve over it to give it some contrast. Tiny bit of sharpening 85, 1, 4 . Bit of color correction. and then a anvil process.

Thoughts?

forgot to say sorry about the perspective... but I am not so good at that Sad
Wow, Jerry and Irma, I like your renditions! Makes it look timeless! Big Grin
Here's mine. I just went crazy applying different filters in Filters Unlimited and desaturated it at the end. I even put a lens flair filter in as the scene reminds me of something hot and dusty.
I'd have to say the versions I've seen so far are great.
