Stairway in Charcoal

Another look at a house in Georgetown, VA. This 5 shot HDR was okay in color but was too busy, after turning it B&W I layed a white layer mask over a charcoal filter and used a ragged eraser tool to bring back the image. I set the opacity at 90% just to see the background a bit on the edges and then applied a gaussian blur at 4% to the entire image. LYLE
