Day 353: Creative Processing

If you have been following my photography, you will know I'm a HUGE fan of straight out of the camera.  The problem right now is I'm in a the 2nd level of Digital Imaging and totally into the "creative process".  See the above photo, totally creative processing.  The original is below:

Using the same processing above without adding the sunset look I created this.  I love the over-processed look of the bottom one even though it doesn't look real.  Sometimes, you just have to step outside the box.
