Glad it was okay.
I used a free program called ASharperScaling to upsize it 200% before I used Photoshop, then Topaz Clarity to adjust the tones & accentuate the textures

That's interesting. I had to scale it down by 60% so I can upload it to this site.

I may have scaled it back down, it was Xmas eve & drink had been takenâș Think the site accepts pics up to 5mb which is fairly big for a jpeg.
I highly recommend the Nik Collection & the Topaz Labs stuff. Even though I'm using older versions sometimes they just seem like magic! If you fancy Monochrome conversions Nik Silver Efex is truly great: getting those dark, detailed B&W skies for landscapes is just a few clicks to apply a red filter.

Thanks, I will definitely check it out.

With a bit of a search you might find free versions. Nik was definitely free for a while

Wow! you made it so clear without loosing resolution. It looks like 3D. Which computer program did you use for this? I only use Adobe PhotoShop which is is an excellent program, but maybe it's time I looked at others. Good job.
