 The original was quite vibrant. So I desaturated and overexposed a bit, used Silver Efx pro 2 (SEP2) to combine a grey scale overlay then soft focused in Alien Skin Exposure 3, then selectively sharpened, dodge & burn. All the changes were gradual, took about 20 minutes. It was to be for the out the favorite window challenge until I checked and realized it was Basic Editing only

The desaturation works wonderfully well with the weathered-looking paint of the windowsill.

Ya, I here you on the minimal editing I had all kinds of ideas and then I saw the minimal editing and I thought now what? Glad you posted here, I really like your processing.

I also like the colors for this one. What did you do? I like the bit of windowsill on the bottom and right.
