Default Mighty Death Has Found Me.

I shot his many moons ago and considerably over-post produced it, so this is the newest edition. I think I've made a nice improvement and would love to hear your thoughts about it.



If you're interested, you can see the older version here:

Thanks!

Great shot! my only problem is the horizon...straightening that out might be the little touch it needs. In my eyes that is.....

Here is the original:

As for the procedure (if I remember correctly )
Levels, got rid of the dust marks, equalized a duplicate and made it a soft light overlay layer for contrast (around 30ish% opacity I think), and a few different color filters for the sky color.

Thanks to all for the comments!

Good job. I don't think it's over processed at all.
