Foot Bridge

Here is a picture of a foot bridge over a small pond. My friend Shawn took the picture this spring in Northern NJ.

As always have fun!

Used various layers and filters to give a soft look.

Fishboy... I love the colors on the first on Vibrant! Very Cool
The second one gives a scary effect. Not a foot path to go on alone. Very creative.

Jean - nice picture, and I like your soft 'brushed' look on your rendition.
FishBoy - I also like the vibrant colors - I pushed the colors on my version as well.

Cropped
increased saturation
blured

I read an article about using the Art History Brush today and was inspired to try it out on this image.

For those interested, the tutorial can be seen HERE.

Thanks, Jean, for a great picture to work with.

Tyeise.... I like the focus on the fence. It pops. The cars in the background on the original took away some of the feeling in the picture and removing that part of the picture gives a soothing, calm out of time feeling. Great!

Danny.... I really like your rendition and could not wait to "Click Here". Problem when I clicked I went to "Post a new thread".

Spinnnz Lovely! You and Tyeise both make the setting look dreamy.

Almost a watercolor

Enlarged original until what I wanted to see of it filled my screen, then took a screenshot. Sketchy action on a layer set to color burn, flatten. Median set to 1. Smart blur 3/25/low. Hue/sat to brighten.
