Creative Interpretations - Tower Bridge

How about a little globe trotting (for some of us)? I'm sure it's been painted a million times, but let's see your version.

Cass, the original photo is not mine. It came from one of the free wallpaper sites.

Nice messing around, Palms... Don't you hate it when you've tried so many things and then forget how you got to something you like?

Hey, I love that musical!
Have to admit, I love cats too. Though obviously not as much as Palms! LOL!

Enjoyed doing this one. Swampy you always find the best photos!

First thing I did is flipp her over then I made her old. Sounds like a country and western song.

Re: Creative Interpretations - Tower Bridge

Nice find, Swampy. And nice work, everyone. Jordan, yours stands out for me.
I tweaked in Lightroom then used Impressionist (obviously) and added texture in CS2.

Thanks for the praise DC, especially as your work always stands out for me. I particularly like the way you did the sky on this. Great colors and the texture really looks painted.
