Okay, so a step or two to the left might have saved something. It would be easy to
fix a comp but now it's too late. Sort of obvious a lot of something else was lost.
I think you stepped on it with your muddy shoes.
You gotta learn to watch out for that processing thingie.

It is a quality image, of the minimalist variety, so it would be hard to do anything to it that didn't look pretty good.
Start with a good subject, add spices to your liking, stir and enjoy! laf

I like the image very much the texture matches the scene nicely, I think. I'm guessing here; but assume that you placed the texture over the image then used a mask to take the texture away from the areas in the foreground and the shack. It also looks to me like you blurred the edges of the sky and land intersection to blend the edges of the mask? Nicely done.

Thank you do much! I'll say sure to the rest and leave it there...

Glad this isn't a my image/your look competition, because at the moment it's a three-way tie for me 
Steve's, Dave's, Minnie's are all so different, but what they have in common is a very strong POV that sets the mood immediately. Super congrats to all!

I feel blessed when an image calls to me, but even more when friends put this much effort into giving it their spin. It's been a learning experience! S-

Min has made this image have a much "happier" feel to it than the original post. Steve, which mood did you want to convey when you made the image? Was it one of dashed dreams and hopelessness, or one of dreams just lost and possibly that was OK because they went on to other dreams?
I don't know that Lost Dreams are particularly happy so I like the original but it's amazing to see what everyone else wants it to be! S-

What I realized after I got hold of the original image was that it is a very fine image with just basic raw development, and that it may be one that texture is a disservice to. I had to play with it just for the fun of it, but used a much lighter texture, and added a border and some un-birds. Thank you for sharing!
It's wonderful seeing all the different variations, especially to who shows what like it's window into the soul of how you'd do it. So fun. Thank you! S-

Norman is in fact very suspicious of why some guys feel the need to grow facial hair and then groom it into fanciful shapes so its probably a conversation our Stevie would rather not have.
Norman should be suspicious of those who don't. He is a cat with whiskers after all! S-

Oui, you missed somethin', it was the post previous? Norm never had a beard.
BTW, please excuse me about the fuzzy shack, didn't mean any harm, seen
through tears remembering my own lost dreams that you called up, it just
wasn't clear to me...I don't really plan a lawsuit either, it was just a passing
thought, been watching too many news headlines lately maybe...makes me
feel sad though to get misrepresented as it happens a lot.

I'm not sure I understand any of this, but I'm sure you do so that's okay. S-

I really like the original posted image. I agree with previous comments that intensity of the texture might be reduced.
I'm honored by how much attention this image has received and appreciate the comment! I may be wrong, but the texture feels right. Thanks again! S-

Oh such vain pursuits, the poor boy, they oughtta make that stuff illegal!
Maybe we all need to put a security lock on the computer when we go to bed.
Only some odd nocturnal spree let's hope, but him getting involved with nocturnal
types who do things like that, and no restraint whatever, needs some parental
intervention and guidance. Maybe there's some group therapy place nearby...

I think the building being centered is perfect. The image is a bit dense, but then I like dense. My first reaction was, "I wonder what this looks like without all the PP." I'm just a realist and don't appreciate all the PP work. So, if you'll help me to understand, may I ask why you applied it?
Centering may break the rules, but it felt right and sort of chose where it belonged. And if I may ask, what do you mean by dense? I'm aways curious.
As for the rest, I pretty much a purist trying to keep it like I saw it, but like the centering the shot in plain didn't feel right and once I found the right texture is sort of fit. I know it's not for everyone, and I'm okay with that as I shoot for me and if you like it even better, but it's always personal and hope it reflects.
Thank you again, and Stay Curious! S-
