@Jerry: Thanks Jerry! I used the Midnight Sepia filter available in Nic Color Efx Pro 2.0 There was a lot of distracting areas in this photo that I cloned out and did a bunch of burning and dogging. I also used a gradient on the sky. I'm sorry I can't give you more details. I processed this image about a week ago and can't remember the little stuff.
Wonderful sepia shot!

Best possible processing for a great image!

Nice processing there mate. The sepia goes well with this dry dusty looking establishment.

Really nice scene, I liked to see it in sephia, really gets you into the Ghost Town feeling!

Ah yes, the Nevada desert, 100,000 square miles of kitty litter. Perfect place to test nuclear weapons... oh wait, they already did that. Hmmmm....
Great shot.

The coloring was a great touch!! Somehow that and the perspective emphasize to me the feeling of abandonment, though there's beauty to it.

You give a special and a real atmosphere to this picture! Great work!

The gradient in the sky is intense. Great touch with the sepia.

Great wild west feel!

Perfect light for the angle of the building. Just a super feel to this shot. I Never have done the ghost town thing. I'd like to visit one sometime. Ever since I saw the Brady Bunch episode where they visited one, I've wanted to go.
Another fantastic image, you did a great job on the processing too ! I had a feeling you used a gradient on the sky ( the above comment confirmed hehe ) In short the effect kicks ass !

I have seen some photos of Ghost Town, and one of my best friends have been there, he try to dicribe what he felt there. But your photo is the best way to feel the mystery and essence of sutch strange e dry and I think I can say magic(?) place.
Perfect!
