Light will show you your path to clarity.
If only there are signs of light everywhere, no one would be lost in the darkness.
There are bits of light everywhere, it's up to you to recognize them.
For me, photography is about recognizing the beauty of the scene beyond what is laid in front of me. It's amazing how a mundane-looking scene could turn into a picture that has depth and sublime contrast.

Obviously, there's nothing gorgeous about it since the image that is being presented as RAW is lacking the effect that I wanted for this shot. The amazing thing about RAW files is that it contains the necessary information that I need to stretch the brightness & darkness level of the pixels on a specific area of the image.
In this edit, I applied 1 Adjustment brush filter, 2 Radial filters, and 3 Graduated filters to achieve the kind of effect that I was aiming for.
It took a lot of major adjustments but since the result made me happy about my photo then it's totally worth it.
I also made a black and white version, as usual :)
