This is my first venture into full image editing rather than just colour popping By no means perfect and I'm not expecting this to be particularly liked but would be interested to know what people think good or bad (which I think is more likely to be honest). The original image is added below

This is the original image. For those that haven't seen before this was a sarcophagus in the Berliner Dom which I did a bit of colour focusing back in April - that attempt can be seen here: http://www.myfinepix.co.uk/gallery/728788/460921

I find it very interesting! And it's something very different from you. By looking at the before & after pics, i would say the effect is there, the latter being like from a sci-fi scene.

Amazing image - very clever and creative processing.

Agree all of the above, great image done with skill and care, nice one.
You should have a go at the M or E and the IHC Man challenges to play with some photps and to try new stuff.
