Edit Me an Image #54 - Old Building In Evandale, Tasmania

Continuing the image editing topic, 54th issue.

General rules:

A previous round winner presents a busy or just not so interesting image, having at least some potential for different crops or visions.
Anyone (except author of original image) can edit the presented image, up to three distinct edits in separate posts are permitted.
All edits must be based on original image, not on another person's edits (of course borrowing ideas would not be a problem).
Short explanations about your editing intentions and/or techniques are encouraged, but not required.

Once the deadline for images has been reached, no new image versions will be accepted. Questions and (polite) discussions of techniques are welcome, so that we can learn from one another how certain edits were achieved.
The edited version gathering most likes wins and its author will start next round, unless they would prefer to pass the torch to someone else.
On the closing day for voting, if there is a draw in the number of likes for two or more edits, then the person that posted the original image will decide the winner from the the photos receiving the most votes.

Editing rules:

All "normal" adjustments (brightness, colours, curves etc) are permitted (both local and global ones).
All geometric adjustments (perspective, cropping etc) are permitted.
Artistic effects (brushes, textures etc) are allowed.
No additions or replacements may be made to the main subject matter of the image; non-essential objects may be removed, and parts of the original image can be "moved" to a different position in the image. Sky replacements are OK unless the sky is the main subject..
Generative AI must not be used.

Timing:

Get your images posted by midnight UTC, Jan 9th. As always, you can vote during the entire contest plus one day after the image submission deadline.

The subject:

I took this photo in Tasmania only a couple of months ago. It is a nice old building. It is now a Gallery. The exposure is fine but there are a few distracting elements and it lacks a bit of, umm, pizazz, for want of a better word. So there is your challenge.

Here is the straight out of camera Jpeg:

And here is a link to download the Raw file:

Have fun. Richard,

Raw converted in RawDigger then a quick shot in the GIMP:

Cheers,

Another attempt at a realityish based edit (with its original sky). I would have liked to ditch the car and crop differently, but I wasn't too keen on cloning it out with the spot remover in my old pre-A.I. version of Lightroom. Really great little cameras, those RX100s, I still have a mark1.

Great efforts so far. I'm really impressed!

Hello. This is my first time to try a photo challenge here.

Day-to-night attempt.

Someone had to !
Arrthouse ?

C1 to FastStone, all mods done there.

Here's my last version. G'MIC plugin for Photoshop Ombre Portee contributes to the majority of the effect. (Fellow Challenger Participants: I'm trying to follow the challenge instructions, but if I am not, please let me know.)

One day to go...
