@Nick Chase: I use NIK Color Efex Pro 2.0 and the "cross processing" filter. I then burn-in the image in PS followed by the "darken" filter in NIK.

Very cool, reminds me of the earlier surrealist type photos you had going with factories. This one is up there with those, love the style; great stuff!

Cue Also Sprach Zarathustra. Great colors and textures. What a beautiful shot.

Part of the fun of photography - at least for me - is in creating images that are a bit mysterious as to their origin or nature. However, in this case, I'll break my rule and explain. It is a wooden board sticking in the ground at a construction site in the Montreal airport. I shot it through the window (which had a mesh sunscreen over it) with a rising morning sun and clouds. I blurred the background, applied a cross-processing filter, burned-in the image slightly, applied a darken filter and added a minimal canvas texture.

Interesting texture. Reminiscent of 2001 a space odessy.

I adore the texture and overall look here Craig. Those colours are sublime. Thanks so much for the processing rundown too.
