Ringing the Changes

One of the amazing things about digital imaging is how easily the same scene can be changed in appearance with the minimum of processing, and was doing that a little today, Not the most amazing photographs,one is a general Welsh landscape taken from the tram that goes up to the Great Orme in Llandudno, and t'other a shot from my walk around Sheffield's woebegone industrial area, somewhere I would like to some more work on.

Initial shot
Combination of 2 layers


Monochrome, weird how this almost looks like snow.

Original Working

Fine Art Border, think I will alter the light a bit more on this
As usual Viveza 2, and Silver Efex provided the tools, I don't think I could do it so easily in Photoshop, though expert Lightroom people could do this and more.

As usual the four "L"s come into play, Learning, knowing how to do something, Location, being in the right spot, Light being right for the photograph you want, and a considerable amount of Luck, being able to have the first 3 hands in play.
