Have enjoyed this thread - Great work from everyone!

Gertrudis
scratch brush large over whole image, then oil brush small to bring out details.

PSP X
Placed original under gertrudis layer, then used weak strength eraser on objects which caught my eye.

Regards to all,
Mitch.

as always, i'm impressed. some very nice works here!

been watching this thread for a while but never contributed. finally decided i could do something with it...not quite what i started out to do, but it will suffice for now

there's a heavy gausian blur layer in here, a 'find all' edges layer, lots of blends and copy merges, a contrast/brightness layer, a grouped layer with some lighting, a blank layer with a partial airbrushing and overlain texture (for the street), more blends, and some partial opacities. lost track after the first 4 or 5 layers. oh, and one copy merge that had a VERY heavy digital camera noise removal applied to it.

nice image. thanks, danny

My steps:
1. Dup the background layer
2. KPT pyramid paint
3. Set the blending mode of the duplicate layer to Lighten
I see many wonderful artworks, congratulations!

This is apparently another one of those photos that I "painted" back in the day but didn't see fit to upload. I don't remember what I did to it back then but this version is a watercolor a la Vitaly (dron58), more or less.
