Well, this is my first attempt on "extreme processing" (thanks to "advanced editing" for this challenge).
This is actually taken during Sandstorm so it was very "flat" due to poor visibility and lots of sand grains in air. The actual color offcourse was "sandy" :)
Post-processing :
- Cropped
- Levels
- Converter to b/w
- Graduated tint (blue)
- Minor cloning of power cable
- Glow filter
- Color temperature adjusted to cold
- Saved for web
- NeatImage with some sharpening

this is really nice. i liked how soft the tree appeared to be, and the way it moved with the wind. the empty space around the tree gives this photo a weird sort of serenity, which i think makes the picture. good work.
Whoah, why is this so washed out at the bottom?
This would've been an EXCELLENT picture if it wasn't so washed out.
Or maybe that was the effect that you were trying to give?
