I love this photo Mal, thanks for letting us play with it.

I cropped, flipped and did some colour adjustments in PS then cloned over the Artists Canvas texture in Painter IX with Den's Oil Brush Messy and Funky Chunky, and Jeremy Sutton's Mish Mash and Mish Mash Scumble brushes. Did some slight blending of the sky with Den's Oil Brush Blender. Back to PS for some sharpening and texture enhancements.

Mal,

Yet another beautiful image of a beautiful region!

I upped the saturation of yellows and reds and blues, ran Sketch->Notepaper (using green/ dark orange from the image) on a layer with a Color Dodge layer above, duped the results and ran Fragment on one copy, then Dry Brush, added a layer mask and masked out the outlines. Then ran Blur->Zoom on the top layer and set the blend mode to Color Burn.

For some reason, the stark beauty of this picture reminds me of the Serengeti..not that I've ever been there mind you.

Cheers

wow! wonderful tones, duv. the inclusion of the animals is an interesting touch also.

the cat doesnt quite look right, though. he looks a bit 'pasted in'. and there's some extra 'stuff' around the zebra legs that needs to be blended out. otherwise, an excellent rendition! (sorry, i know this isnt the critque forum, but it's such a great piece i just felt i had to say something)

Inclement weather.

Thanks Craig. You're right. I tend to put more stock in the idea and less on execution. I think or hope that I would spend more time if I was working from scratch with high resolution images. Anyhow, your comments are well taken and appreciated.

Steve, nicely done!

Cheers
Dave

nice steve. did you use one of those lightning plugins or draw it in yourself?

duv,
i just HAD to print yours out. and that meant i had to 'clean' it a bit first. i blended in the cat a tiny bit. and, the zebra legs were kind of funny. there were more legs than those zebras would account for

so, i removed the extras and did a tiny bit of blending. for a last step i ran a 'soften' once to remove the sharpening blocks.

this .jpg isnt quite as sharp as the 'cleaned' one, but it mostly shows it.

i did the print on glossy photo paper. it came out spectacularly! so, thanks mal and duv! (btw, this is for my private use only, so i hope this is ok..and if it's not, why ppphhhhtttt! ).

oh, and i took the print out to my folk's place today and showed them. my dad thought it was a picture taken in africa

Hi Craig, glad it worked out for you. Cleaning things up sure helped. Thought you might be interested in seeing the source images. They're from Adobe Stock Images that comes with CS2. And the Zebras do seem to have too many legs!

Cheers
Dave

thank you, duv. i dont normally try to 'improve' someone else's rendition when it's posted here, but i just really liked yours and wanted to print it.

and thanks for posting those images.

Craig
