Graveyard photo

[Nanls]

Visiting my sister in Spain and came upon this really old graveyard, in Blanes on the Costa Brava, with the most beautiful monuments. It was near dusk and I just used my little canon digital 5 meg pix, but thought this would be a fun photo to play with. Enjoy.

I saw this image as a black and white drawing.

Interesting photo...

I seldom apply just one effect to an image, but on this one I stopped after using Levels to open up the shadows and using Andromedia Etchtone applied with the default settings.

Subtle but interesting.

Hi Nanls,

I duplicated the Layer and flipped it. I then used a mask to reveal part of the bottom Layer and so create a mirror image.

Finally I used the Lighting filter to add a bit of colour and modeling.

Hope you like the result.

Regards

How about a flowing, melting(?) look?

Exactly what I was thinking

Well I worked on this photo with Studio Artist. I'm in the beginning of a long learning curve with this program.

High contrast and glowing edges filter for a bronze look.

Just wondering about your background. Perhaps it would look better if the color was more bronze or copper?

Nice job.

[kschulz]

Thanks Phil. Actually, I gave the background a bronze-ish cast, perhaps not enough? I did this on my laptop (LCD) - I'll have to look at it on my CRT to see if the colors are what I intended
