Improving a blah shot

[TonyCooper]

I went out earlier today to find something to photograph, but didn't come back with a shot that I liked. I shot the barn below, but - out-of-camera - it just isn't an interesting shot.

The top the image below is the o-o-c shot. The lower image is after Photoshopping to a black and white with some extra contrast, with a color layer using the linear burn blending mode and reduced to 25% opacity.

Good enough for a keeper?

Good save Tony..... I like it..... I spend most of my time trying to save snapshots. I bought a magazine that said it would show me how to get great shots right out of the camera..... I haven't read it yet..:rofl azzaro
