About the Image(s)
There is this church in Barbados that sits high on a bluff with the ocean in the background. It dates from the 17th century and was greatly damaged by an earthquake several years ago. I took the picture with my big camera and 70-200 telephoto lens and then ran it through Lightroom on my laptop then through some apps on my phone (to correct the distortions and wreck it more completely), and then ran it back through Lightroom on my laptop again.

Very cool! Since the building was already 'distressed,' the additional treatment works well.   Posted: 03/13/2019 20:33:17

Agree with Brenda. I like the way you added interest to the already distressed building. I am also intrigued by what might have occurred long ago behind those windows.   Posted: 03/15/2019 18:05:12

I was thinking of trying to put light behind the windows but thought it might look too fake... The interior is in total disarrya but the bones are beautiful...

Very nice - Similar feel to your photo last month of the falls - which I really liked.
I might try and darken the shadows a bit. (Not quite sure how.) And give it more of a haunted feel. I like the yellow tint.   Posted: 03/15/2019 18:48:26

What a cool capture, Arabella! This is just loaded with possibilities, especially since you like doing different things with your images.
Jumping on Dan's suggestion, I went the route of making it haunted looking. Applied a couple of dark Photo Filter adjustment layers, then some lightning reflected in the windows, and finally some rain. Thoughts?   Posted: 03/17/2019 14:11:26

Quite frankly, I'm jealous of Arabella's image, and wish I had taken it. d;¬{D   Posted: 03/18/2019 13:07:17

Visiting from 48 & 80 I love this image just the way it is. It shows a heck of a lot of character and exudes history   Posted: 03/19/2019 16:47:40
