[QUOTE="drd1135, post: 396038, member: 1094"] So, I'm walking up this dirt path between a set of old houses that are typically rented to students. I don't normally go this way but I was heading to the mechanic to pick up my car. I see this absolute mess of electrical wires and decide it would make a good daily shot. I'm trying different perspectives but this house hasn't seen a right angle since Sheridan burned down the Valley. I took a few wider shots like this to give myself some space to work with the perspective controls.

I then pushed the shadow slider in ACR and startled myself. [ATTACH type="full" alt="cat.jpg"]238299[/ATTACH] At this point I decided to make a more balanced composition, given the new elements in the image. I also turned up the clarity to catch the highlights in the ectoplasm. :eek-54: [/QUOTE]
