Door
Everyone's submission usually starts off with an interesting shot. Here's one that's just so-so. Can anything be done with it?

e.b. -- that's not a "so-so" shot! It already has rich color, clarity, nice composition... This should be fun for some of us.

I'll check back later after I've had time to rev up PShop and work with it a bit.

As soon as I saw this one I thought anisotropic diffuse! Darkened with the sketchy action as a multiply layer, flattened and ran the anisotropic. Adjusted with curves. With some images, this effect is just fantastic. I really like what it did with the lines on this one.

EB, this is a wonderful photo! Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

CJ, both versions are great, but the night view is awesome! Went straight into my “keeper” file of retouchpro favorites.

Bill, that’s a really creative, bold look...like a sixties painting (which I am old enough to remember).

Mikl, now THAT’s imaginative! Great job!

BK, wonderful use of color and texture!

It’s late and time for bed, so I’ll just fall back my usual “abstract” style.

Great Job everyone. Loved the painting with light, CJ and as always BK's work, along with all the others. I had no idea what to do so I kinda went with a Twilight Zone type of thought.

Amazing stuff. After seeing all that can be done with this, it becomes even more so-so. I have a couple more door and window shots (I'm a little weird that way). If I can find them I'll post them to see what you wizards can do.

Once again, wild stuff. Thanks, I'm learning from it.

Trimoon,

Did you do that with your flower painting steps?

My own try.
I started with Dave's no name action and added some angled strokes. Also adjusted Hue/Saturation a little.

Once again, thanks for you efforts.

Jean, I love your image. I knew it needed something - those flowers set it off just perfect!

Jerry - your colonial door was a super idea!

CJ - your door at night is really nifty! I hope to do something a little different with a night version. - gotta find a bit of time to play first.

Mikl - your door belongs in Alice in Wonderland!

Phyllis - I hadn't even noticed the numbers on the door until I saw yours.

Steve - I really like what you did to yours, and I'm glad you also posted a larger view. You reallly can't get the whole effect on the small one.

I think you've all done just great!

Tyeise
