A little fun with lighting and processing... one of the few times I've actually known exactly how I wanted a shot to come out as I shot it.
@escapetooz: Hehe... looks quite over processed but this is very close to the original... lighting is the key here, it's done with a flash to balance the sky which gives is an HDR feel.
The post processing was simply Tonemapping (@40%), levels, curves, slight desat and the texture just to add some grittiness (although it looks almost the same without it)
pretty neat though the processing is a bit much for my taste! isn't that wonderful when you have an idea and it goes just how you wanted... I get to live vicariously through you because I don't think it has happened to me yet... lol.
