I have this one photograph that for some reason just fascinates me. All it is a digger part taken at sunset. But it reminds me a rearing stallion. It totally intreges me.

Here is the copy colour


Here is the black and white(ish) version


Here is the original


What would you do with it, any suggestions on crops, colours, processing????

My first impression is that it needs to be cropped to square. ;o)

I'm almost embarrassed to post this. Somewhere along the line my masking was awful, and you can see it in my sky around the "horses". It didn't show selected at the time, and as I pushed the saturation up it jumped out. I was too lazy to start over. You get the idea!



Masked out the sky and pushed the "adaptive exposure" slider in Topaz Adjust pretty far to the right.
Photo Filter - Warming filter with heavy density
Variations to make it more yellow
Selected just the sky and boosted saturation
Selected bottom portion and ran Topaz denoise
Levels adjustment
Crop

is it possible to re-shoot it? it seems to me that the underexposed parts don't have enough image information to be lightened ... and the image isn't sharp, which is a bit distracting. i like the shape a lot ... very cool subject
