Seriously dropped out shadows, I can see where you’re coming from now with the “no detail in the foreground” remark from earlier. Looks like you could almost have got the same effect with posterizing at 2 levels maybe? Good to get the aerial, don’t tend to see too many of them around here these days-
I like this type of graphic image. Subject matter really suits the treatment ypu have given the image. Must have alook at the bigger image on Flickr. Had a browse and it does work well as a larger image. I thought initially it would only work as a small image but i was wrong.
