I posted one version of this here, but I was not happy with it.
Here are a few more attempts. Also, I am inspired by KillaKoala to throw open the PP to the group. To this end, I am also supplying a full size, OOC(unretouched) JPG and the NEF. As with Killa, I reserve copyright.

The original:


Darker as per Gary's Suggestion:


An almost workable attempt to keep the colour in the glider. Previous attempts were ditched:

greg, i really like the PP in #2. the noise and darkness you created looks ominous and surreal. i really like it.

My take,

wow surenj, that rework is awesome...i also will chain you down and get the steps out of you for that one! That image could easily pass as one of those GFC advert images or similiar - ie 'getting thru troubled times',

Greg, I reckon you last BW rework is a winner, some where in the middle always seem to work... this version conveys that ominous feel quite well.
