This is a latch on a chicken coop. Its metal, if anyone needs to ask. They welded a horseshoe to it to make it 'fancy.' Gotta love rural ingenuity. Maybe I belong on a farm.
Anyway, 95% of the work was done in RSE: Highlight and shadow contrast & desaturate. This gives a very high contrast image without adding all the noise and artifacts found in PS.
The 5% in PS was sharpen, brightness, save for web. Its getting difficult to figure out what can be done in PS in Basic Challenges so I am now trying to stick with what I can do in RSE.
The only lens I had with me was the 75-300 so I had to stand back and shoot. At 75mm.
Hope you enjoy, all comments appreciated!
