Zelda. That's what I'm thinking. Nice shot.

I like the shot and what I think you're trying to do but this is one of those images that feels overedited with too many filters and post processing. I really think it would do better in simple black and white with only level tweaks.

The idea is good. Having the sword blade running exactly along the line of the tower kind of hides it.

It's snowing! And as for conversion from RAW - I don't do anything most of the time. :-) In Bridge, I just double click the shot I want to open; the RAW window comes up with all the myriad of possibilities; I click Open Image and it pops into Photoshop. I will tweak the color temperature sometimes, and occasionally the exposure. But mostly I do everything in Photoshop.

On this one which is now a jpeg, open it in Photoshop, do a duplicate layer, then change the blending mode to Soft Light. Not legal in basic, of course, but shots from dSLRs often need boosts in saturation and contrast - soft light kinda does that all in one fell swoop.

Only if small town America has fallen into the clutches of the twilight zone... it hasn't, has it? A peaceful night shot; nicely composed.

Very fitting image and processing.

interesting, great concept, but maybe a little too overprocessed for me. 7
