My Image Your View: Pidgeon Forge Tenn. Hollywood Wax Museum.
I am honored to have been chosen to submit an image to challenge the members with.
This is a fun image with post processing challenges and opportunities for “creative interpretations” The attached .jpg has only had basic Camera RAW default settings applied.
Straighten, crop, invert (negative image), Nik tonal contrast, Nik cross balance (daylight to tungsten), levels adj, PS Elements posterize (masked sky from effect), selective hue/saturation adjustments.
Changed color space to sRGB for web viewing.
Rich, thanks for such a unique image to play with!
Here is my View.
Cleaned up the wires first. Next made a 4 image HDR using Aurora software. Then back into Photoshop to see how much cloning I could get away with. Removed a couple of cars, more wires, several poles and a sign, toned down clouds and then brightened buildings.
Here's my take. Got rid of the wires. In addition all the cars are gone. Didn't want any reference to modern day. Went for the vintage look.
You did an admiral job with the cars Frank, tough job, but you left two still showing one far left and another behind the sign. 🤫
Interesting twist on the building.💪

Missed those two. These old eyes failed me on that. "Interesting twist on the building.💪[/quote]" Perhaps a little pun on you last comment.

I just went back in and took them out of the shot. Those two were the easiest ones.
The Wax Museum at night...
There are some creative and/or clever responses so far! Thank you.
There is one edit I hope to see yet?????????????
Surprise! A black and white. Gradient map conversion with some burn and dodge
Lots of fun with this one!
My attempt is pretty basic. I lightened, clarified and straightened in LR, then attempted to take out wires and distractions in PS. My hands are so shaky this AM that I didn't do it very well. I cropped to get rid of the traffic.
Removed all the busy things. Helped pass some great daylight time.
