Tim Fleming (http://www.timfleming.com) is another one of the very talented members of the PACE Group I'm fortunate to belong to. For review, we get together once per month to share images, food and great conversation about photography. We determine monthly assignments, and then each go off and do our own interpretation photographically.
(I featured one of Tim's creations a while back in this "Friends on Friday" post.)
I was really blown away by Tim's "through" images. Not only because they were spot on with the theme (each image looking through doorways, windows, etc), but the setting was so over the top. He told us these were from Mare Island (Vallejo CA), which I subsequently visited and then posted several images.
For these images, Tim used an HDR process (he uses Photomatix). He then often hits up his images with Topaz adjust for extra detail. Here is what Tim says about Topaz Adjust:
Topaz gives me the ability to add texture and detail to an image, as well as a bit of drama, in a precise and predictable way.
As you know I like breaking the rules, and that's one reason why I selected this image from the ten he showed. To me, there are two subjects, the peeling wall on the left and the room/doorway to the right. They work together, but are quite different. It's working for me. Great work Tim.
