For this image i started by using the smart sharpen filter to sharpen the whole image so i could get to work using the burn and dodge tools to emphasize certain areas of the image for example the shadow of the focal point, i did this because i felt that the damage of the tip of the branch was the most interesting point and solidified my message about destruction. i then used the blur tool to create a gradually blur around the rest of the image to funnel the viewer's vision into the centre. I then finished by using the curves layer adjustment to enhance the dark areas while keeping the lighter areas the same.
