After watching a video by Paul Thomson on the new neural filters in Photoshop 2021, I decided to apply a depth-aware haze filter, to add a subtle cool mist effect to this image. On this morning there was no mist whatsoever so it's complete work of Photoshop on display here.

Could you tell this was the sorcery of Photoshop???

I think the results are fairly realistic. Ethically I'm not sure it's a good idea and I will not be using it much if at all going forward.

Rusting old hulk, living out it's last years to be scavenged on by the locals.

Similar to a previous shot, but taken from another angle (I prefer this one)

It's subject matter like this that I strive to find and capture, adding a little artistic flare to enhance it's beauty. To say I loved this wreck is an understatement :-)

I spent ages with a 7 exposure HDR processed version of this, but scraped it and manually blended two exposures in Photoshop, then added a few little tweaks.
