More Experimentation: Blur & Darkness

I have been continuing my exploration of moving ‘out of my comfort zone’ by using darkness and blur. This is a rework of an image that I had processed some time ago. This time I wanted to give it more of an evil ‘Tower of Mordor’ type look. I did so by darkening the image, adding blur, adding the birds, and using a bluish gradient map adjustment layer to give it a slightly cool blue tone. I find it quite interesting to experiment with what type of feelings these processing changes can inject into an image. How does the image make you feel?
