| | | Creative interpretations: railway bridge This is a railway bridge just before you enter the famous 6,6 km long Westerschelde tunnel in my land.
Second photo is my interpretation.
PSP7, used a lot of layers, lightening, sepia, merging. Don't know exactly anymore.
Have fun.

| | | Is this all roads lead to golden arches? Or is it follow the yellow lighted (brick) road? In either case, I like your vibrant approach. Sooie.
Legacy, right on with the film. It looks sophisticated that way. Good going.
Nice photo to work on Titia. I like how you treated it as well. It is dramatic and bold.

| | These all look great. I went with an "electric" look.
Don't remember exactly what i did but i know i started by desaturating and then turning it into a dual tone image.
After i set my colors and curves in dual tone i returned to RGB, made selections, and created color adjustment layers.
Adjusted levels.
duplicated the background and stylize>glowing edges. applied a luminosity blend at 40% opacity.
something like that anyway  |

| | | Cardmnal....
The purple in the steet lines create an interesting illusion of movement that adds to the electric effect. Like a fast-frame shot..

| | | Great work all. This one joins the more surrealistic versions I suppose. It's another Elements2 random walk documented thanks to the history palette.
BG.
A: Decolor
B: GradientMap Adj layer (violet to orange)
C: MergeVis(A,B). InkOutlines
D: Copy C. DryBrush. PaintEngine. (55% opacity)
E: MergeVisible (C,D). Xero-BadDream. (70% opacity)
F: MergeVisible(C,D,E). Impressionist-Geometric:ChaoticChrome modified. (HardLight, 54%). [ChaoticChrome looks like a great starting point for abstract interpretations. Time to play...]
G: MergeVis(C,D,F - E turned off). Posterize-8.
