Creative interpretations: Arizona Mission

[DannyRaphael]

Ran across this the other day and thought it had great potential.

Let's see what you can do with this one.

This is a great photo.

I used the same steps I used in mini-challenge 98 (lighthouse), but played with the presets.

Levels, blending modes.

Danny:
Thanks for the image Danny. Cheryl I really liked your impressionist style. SVSG your image was really interesting I like your dark tones that you have given images. I have tried for between the two of you in style.
The following was done:
1. Nik polarizer and brilliance & warmth
2. Buzzed
3. Embossed
4. Curves
5 Texture sandstone
Thanks

svsg--nice work. I like how the mission tower looks lit from within.

Bob--the soft sandstone texture is a nice compliment to the coolness of the sky and the warm tones of the mission.

Don--great surreal effect. I like the slightly melted look of the building--it suits the old architecture (sp?).

Hi everyone,


very nice picture and one that inspires some very wild renditions.

I downloaded it because I liked it so much but couldn't get anything decent out of it till tonight.

Cheryl : your getting into a style of your own . I like the different colourblotches-tones very much. Just a pic that deserves this treatment.

svsg : just as I would picture this building in a glorius sunset. Nice

Bob : for whom the bell tolls!!! Lovely that light from into the tower and the dark ominous sky.

Don : Your's seems to be in front of a big explosion. The laquer always delivers hé

mine is a bit hot too:

I used a layer with colourworks-heat filter
a layer wher I selected only the building
a routine sketch layer with colorize hue saturation to make it warmer and eliminate white-fad el white /softlight
a background dupe with impressionist watercolor and PE waterpaper preset /softlight
a dupe with buzz-edges usm and eliminate white-fade /multiply
layer with texture

done

Very nice versions from everyone. I used a tutorial found here

for mine. I did add a texture at the end.

I ran across the image on my hard-drive that I downloaded and made awhile ago. Guess I'll post it now, even though I don't remember what I did.

Sorry lost count of all the silly things I did with this one.
I'm having a surreal moment I think.

I'm thinking about each of the ways I can read that sentence --

"not JUST my mind people can worry about";

"not just MY mind people can worry about"

If anyone else wants Peter to wonder about their mind, here's what I did:

diffuse glow to channel(s)
duped layer
dark strokes on top layer - faded
duped layer
ran notepaper sketch with royal blue/yellowish green - set layer to Luminosity - then inverted layer and duped it

ran Torn edges - black/white - overlay layer blend with opacity reduced to 50%
ran Extrude on top layer
ran texture Craquelure on top layer

top layer - set to Overlay (inverted notepaper sketch with Torn edges, extrude and craquelure)
2nd - set to luminosity
3rd set to normal (diffused glow)

Grrrrr, You Go Get 'Em CJ.

"not JUST my mind people can worry about";

"not just MY mind people can worry about"

CJ I think you should read, (or maybe you already have), "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" by Lynne Truss. Just be careful where you put the commas.

BTW it was no criticism, I liked the pic, I just forgot to say, sorry!

Going for a loose watercolor this time. Did DCSpecial's ICE4 filter, GIMP's Dilate filter and ported the result into CS2 for some Impressionist(CherylH Gouche) and Paint Engine (@Wetter2) enhancements.
