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.

e.b. - nice pic - thanks for sharing.
CJ - I like the bright color 'illustration' .... your bright colors inspired my bright color version (warning ... put on sunglasses for viewing)

Just spent an hour or so having fun with that pic. Thanks e.b.

Miki -- clever! ...and a bit eerie...

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.

CJ - I really like the 'night version' - nice work!
Mikl - creative ... and yes, a bit eerie!
BK - I agree - the effect is fantastic on this pic - good job

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.
