West Texas 2018 I've been going through old photos.

Very nice image Glenn. I thought I would try a cooler version. All work done in GIMP. First I cropped the image using the rule of thirds to get rid of some of the sky. Next I used the curves tool to brighten the mid tones. I then used a luminosity mask to add blue to the shadows. I then used a black to white gradient map to desaturate the image. Then I used the levels tool and a layer mask to brighten the middle of the image. Last i used a unsharp filter and a layer mask to sharpen the trees on the right side of the image.

Nice pick Mike thank you for posting. I like this image very much and not a lot needed to be fixed. First I cloned out the part of a man on the left edge and a small boat on the horizon to the right. I then used some luminosity mask and the color balance tool to bust a little color in the shadows, highlights, and mid tones. I used the curve tool to add a little contrast. Last I used an unsharpen mask to slightly sharpen the foreground area.

West Texas from vacation two years ago.

I could no find any telephone lines worth showing so I'll show this train track from Alaska.
