At Wood Lane Farm, Stalbridge, this morning. Beside a crumbled old concrete track, with grass along the middle is a decaying concrete fence post at a jaunty angle with a single rusty barbed wire hanging off it and beginning to coil. Between them is a web covered in dew.

I spotted this in the archives and decided it had obvious potential for improvement. I think I got a bit carried away though.

- Layer mask symetrically graduated between the middle of the stadium and ~ 1/2 way into the sky.
-- In the sky, curves used to add contrast in the red and blue channels and bring down exposure
-- In the cityscape, curves used to bring up exposure slightly, and +5 shadows used to bring out details; also, 100% unsharp mask to bring out details of stadium seating
- Mirror image added, exposure reduced, especially in the highlights, with curves
-- blurred and ripple effect added
-- linear graduated layer added, to make bottom darker

Here is the original
