There were two windows in the little tower.

I wasn’t as happy with the shot of the second window as I was with the first.

I think the major issue I had with this shot is the burned out spot on the window itself. Lesson learned – diffusers are your friend.

This is number 2 of three images of the tower I have. The third is currently on my “how do I fix that” pile. (More on this later in the week…. probably).

There’s been a fair bit of post processing here.

I created three duplicate smart objects in CS3. One exposed for the window, one for the wall and hedge and one for the sky.

These were then blended through before being flattened and converted to black and white using a gradient filter. The filters opacity was reduced to give that washed out feel and a mask was used to retain the window.

Then it was (maybe over) sharpened.

I quite liked the result.

Apart from the burned out bit. :(
