Before and After a Little Help from PhotoShop

I posted the final product in my Cross Tipped Churches blog. This is one of my pre-visualizations. When I saw this picture forming before my camera lens, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted the finish product to look like.

Here is the first pic with nominal editing, mostly getting the crop that I want.



I did some adjustments with shadow and highlights, brightness and contrast, burned and dodged and added my text and my vision was complete.
