Interesting photo. A darker sky might make it even more dramatic. I can't offer any suggestions on how to do it. I am sort of PS challanged. Still, good work.

How did you do it?

It was done entirely in BibblePro 4.9.8e. No PS work whatsoever. Bibble has a wonderful plugin system. The plugins I used were:

AndyPro - B&W conversion based on film/reagents/paper types
Deejay - Color channel mixer
MarkyPro - Watermarking
MattyPro - Framing

The AndyPro settings were Agfapan APX 400 + Refinal 5 min 68F + Agfa Multicontrast + Filter 0.
The Deejay settings were Mono from Red, Red +1 Blue -.33
The other two plugin were for watermarking and framing.

Was shot RAW needless to say.

What a great photo! I like it. The clouds really make the horse seam angry, while the tree and building let the viewer know that its still just a statue.

Carlos, excellent tonality and detail. Composition is not bad either, good job.
