Monk & pagoda

I went all in with this one. There were things I really liked about the photo – the monk, and the details in the pagoda – but there were also some things I didn’t like – it was flat, and the sky was burned out – So I decided to play around with some texture and add another sky.

And ended up with what you see here.

Here’s a before and after, where you can see the RAW photo compared to the finished photo.
