Hi All

Been lurking for a while, picking stuff up and suchlike, but saw this photograph (which is stunning) and couldn't resist a shot! Consequently, this is my first post.

Playing with Art History Brush with a few filters thrown in for good measure, all a bit higgledy piggledy really and nowhere near as expert as many on here, but hey....we live and learn and all that...

Congratulations on a great forum by the way!

'Tis done, didn't take last night as it was saying there was already one on there, but guess I just needed a reboot...power cut saw to that, and was able to upload one this time!

Thanks for the welcome...looking forward to contributing a bit more and getting in on some of the challenges...

I duplicated several layers. Ran different filters. Combined them in different ways. Enchance the edges. Merged all layers and made final adjustments.

Ok. I had some time to kill when I found the minichallenge. Usually don't use the filters much so I thought I'd give it a try.

1) Adjusted contrast with a curveslayer.
2) Decreased saturation.
3) Dodged & burned a bit.
4) Flattened the picture
5) Created 4 duplicates of the backgroundlayer.
6) Applied following filters (one filter per layer) Underpainting, Dark
Strokes, Crosshatch and Dry brush.
7) Adjusted the opacity of the layers.

Pam your version is great! I'll have to fiddle a bit and try to get similar result.
