 Taken after a snowstorm, the sun had broken through the clouds and was shining on the shed which was all covered with snow.

I did not much processing. After a convertion in Camera Raw I used these tools in Photoshop: Rotate, crop, contrast, curves, hue/saturation, channel mixer, NoiseNinja, USM.

Here it is in color:

I am very surprised that you and some other commenters find this photo overprocessed, because I did not much post processing. Thanks for the comments everyone.

looks very surreal but I love the sky. Makes me wonder what that building stands there for.

Building looks really metallic. I do like the leading lines and the sky. Comp makes it an interesting view.

It doesn't look real, nice contrast, could be better if the house on the right had better contrast and value.

Very nice indeed. Love the sky, outstanding capture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/30/2008 06:01:37 PM
are you sure this wasn't spot edited? nice shot though if the booth wasn't in quite such high contrast

The hut is too processed looking. Almost looks like it was pasted in. Otherwise it would have been pretty a cool shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love the scenary of this picture and I love how there is just some random house just by the side of the road nice shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

what a shame that the foreground hut is overblown.

Edited: The photographer just contacted me and told me that the hut is covered in snow. So I stand corrected.
