I like the original very much and I think it is very nice just like it is, but I didn't resist making this WS. What I did:

1- Rotated 0.55 clockwise to put it straight.

2- Crop to eliminate the empty parts resulting from rotation. That was the only reason to remove the frame. Before I came to TE I was almost radically against any frames, but I have learned to accepting them and even findind them nice, like is the case on the original. One of thse days I think I'll begin putting frames n my own photos.

3- Auto levels, which resulted in too much contrast and brightness.

4- Lower that contrast and brightness by reducing the alteration on the curves done by auto levels.

5- Desaturated to b&w

6- Blended a duplicated layer in "divide mode" and opacity 12. This resulted in some excess brightness again, but that was intentional so I could...

7- Increase contrast by 20 to make it a bit less gray

1. Cropped (the frame and bike on the right side)
2. Enhanced the contrast.
3. Played with curves on each channel
4. Sharpened the man's face (perhaps too much, but it's only workshop?)

Beautiful, precious photo, I hope my vision didn't spoil the magic.

For My Friend Davoud,
Who loves sunset in a warm colors. I send the same scene which I took at the same time using a RED filter (HOYA Red 25A).
I wish he love this shot.
Best Wishes,

Jay.

Hi Javad!

1. I cropped to foces more on the man and eliminate distracting elements (bike, light spot) in the back.
2. Applied sharpening
3. Added a white frame

Hope you'll like that.

Croped the left side to remove the part of the incomplete luminary. Little increase from the sharpness.

I hope this suggestion is helpful for you.

Regards

Emanuel
