All of you had great interpretations of this, so I figured I needed something a little different.

Mine is very interpretative of the lighthouse against the sea, and the colors.

gory details:
Filter Farm (recolor & distort)
Microsoft Impressionist (loose detail)
Touch-up
Organic Edges

Thanks,
Jeff

Thought I'd try my hand at the art... but maybe I should stick to retouching!

- New layer with Flaming Pear Boss Emboss blending mode luminosity with an opacity of 30%
- Virtual Painter Gouache
- Virtual Painter Colour Pencil
- Flaming Pear Melancholytron with uniform sepia

I think that the pencil strokes sort of look like rain and the sepia gave it a stormy feel. The colours were very vivid after the colour pencil filter.

Cheers
Tony

Tony:

I'd say you can play in the photo-art sandbox anytime you like. This is a very creative interpretation.

Hope you see more of your creations in the future.

Tony, I like this! It really does have a stormy feel to it.

Hey, Jeff:

I missed your interpretation. That's very cool -- a very refreshing twist.

Welcome to the forum, too. Let's see MORE from you as well.

This one greyscaled in ps as a copy then blue tinge added.
Thrown over into painter 6 and the red lighthouse cloned back in.
Back in ps...added a lense flair then cloned out the circles back in painter. Bit of contrast and "voila" ...a stormy old night!

Oh Gary, that's really cool! I really like the lens flare effect! The border and text give it a cool postcardy sort of feel

Who builds a lighthouse there?

Image doctor-smart fill
some cloning
color correction
neat image to get rid of banding
soften brush for artifacts.

some hue adjustment. desaturated water, desaturated red on house a bit, paint brush on sky and colored pencil / gaussian blur / texture grain on water

sorry i didn't keep better track, just added stuff until I got a certain look.

I wanted blurry but still capturing light direction and I wanted more powerful waves, and I wanted lighthouse to punch out of the middle, with muted sky, and textured pier walkway that was not focus but interesting if your eye wandered....

Hope you like it.

SMETZ99:

It's always a pleasure to welcome someone with your skills to the Photo-art Forum. I'd say you met your artistic goals with this interpretation.

Hope to see more of your creations in the future.

Thanks, now that I've found this gem of a site, I plan on staying around and learning / practicing with all of you.

Wonderful submissions here! I always enjoy lighthouses.

Desaturated the image then did a blur, from there a smart blur edges only.
Then ran anisotropic on the lines. Changed blend mode to soft light.

Added pattern, embossed, then added texture.

Ran Anisotropic again......

I'm in South FL, so I wanted a hurricane effect for this one.

I darkened it a little bit and clarified it in PSP

Then I played with Paint Engine's "Glow wind" filter until it looked like a "level 5" hurricane.

I know this isn't a recent image, but I hope I'm not violating rules by trying my hand at it. Newbie to this forum.
