Went down to the docklands during the weekend and took some shots. This was one of them that I liked.
Processing: White balance, lighting, recovery, darks, clarity, tones, saturations, topaz detail, bit more on lights/darks afterwards.
Anticipated criticism * Alignment is poor (I found it very hard to find much that worked for me)
* Washed out building in the background is washed out (The sun was very harsh and it did blow out most of the detail of the building. Though it's blown out, the building was white, and I felt the whiteness made the shovel come out more)
After: Wohoo! First 6 by myself (i.e. no imput from others on composure, processing etc)!
