| | palms1 -- what beautiful flowers!
i've been smudging this one for awhile -- time to stop
i hope this isn't too vibrant -- i re-calibrated my monitor so i am not so sure if it is coming across too harsh.
i'll work on the other one later.
hope you like it and thanks again... |

| | | Palms, lovely photos. I'm glad I had some time to play with this.
Curves adjustment
Duplicated the file and converted to b/w and sketched. Brought back into the original file and played with opacity and blending modes.
Added Texture then painted back with a charcoal brush with the history brush.
A wonderful photo to challenge me on a Sunday morning! :-) |

| | Thanks you much, Sylvia. It's a combination of Gertrudis Pro layered with Buzz, then played with blending on the layers.

Threw a lot of stuff into the pot and came up with this.
