Filtered Selection Picture

Filter selection.

This picture was taken out in Richfield when it was sundown and the sun was setting. I was in the car at the time and decided to capture this just as we were driving by, making sure to get the subject (water tower) in while still following the rule of 3rds. I didn't do much to the picture by means of adjustments; basically i just used the filter (halftone). I decided i wanted to make it look like something was radiating from the tower, and the halftone circles did just that. The best way i knew how to do this was by using color range. I then selected the color of the sky and added the filter. There were a few problems with this because the color range ended up selecting more than i wanted, so i had to adjust it and do it a couple times. oh yeah by the way, all of this was on a new layer. so still on the new layer i carefully erased the filter layer on the edges that i didn't want to have included. Although i don't particularly like the final product, i am happy with it because everything went nice and smoothly with little mistakes.
