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.

It's so nice to see the different creations coming from one photo.

I'm enjoying myself here.

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.

-Mark
