Trying to create an ancient oriental feel. Just having fun
Socrate

Edit: Cloned a building's corner that was sticking out of the place.

Great shot, Socrate! Comp and capture are great - shadows are awesome.

That building corner in the upper-left is a bit distracting, though.

It would have been nice to have a big dusty swirl going through the ground, but you might need to travel more for that.

I'd also be interested in pushing things more towards the toning or a sepia look.

Thanks for the suggestions. I started a new edit from scratch, rather than re-editing the OP. It seemed easier to do. This is what I came up with.
You are right that corner of the building has to go and I could have used a bit more sepia ton. Still working on the dusty swirl

Interesting shot.

Blended the two images. Imo, the rework was a bit heavy on the toning, and the impact on tonality. Overlayed the OP Luminosity 100%. Overlayed OP Hue 70% (and some masking variation). S&P to taste.

Looks good, Kent

Great shot Socrate. Still love the processing of your original version best. This has an old circus side show feel to it with the tents and poster in the background. Awesome photo.

Thanks Steve. Now that you mentioned it does have an old circus feel

The image and processing is way cool and the toning is most appealing to me in the OP.
Where is this and the backstory?

On the home monitor I am liking Socrate's latest the most.

Although to be honest all the reworks work IMO.

Thank you, Scott. This picture was taken during a Renaissance Festival here in Pensacola.

Socrate's original edit, and the blended one by Kent are the best of the set. Somehow, I still prefer the OP - might be just my monitor.

Thanks for the comments and the picks, Mahesh. I believe the majority of the comments are more favorable to the OP.
