Oh WOW CJ! That is awesome! Now I'm almost embarrassed to post mine.
I was trying to play with the light as well, but leave it more as a traditional photo. First I cropped it to make it more of a panoramic, then added a different sky that I have in my "sky collection." Increased the contrast by copying the green channel to a new layer and setting the blending mode to luminosity with opacity 50%. Added another layer in overlay mode and played with dodge & burn on the highlights and shadows. Finished it with a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to adjust everything to my liking.
E.B. - nice picture, thanks for sharing.
CJ - very dramatic - I like the lighting and texture.
Here's mine
Duped the layer
Top layer - ran Apply Image ... with the mask button checked ... then selected blue channel, difference, gray channel
Then I changed the blend mode on top layer to Multiply
Flattened

Did a couple of versions of this. Plain old clouds filter for the bland sky, and the NEW command/option/tilde thing (cool - thanks, stay-at-home mom!!) on a layer set to vivid light. Sharpen and hue/sat to taste.
Jeanie - wow! Nice work
BK - also, a wow! great colors...(could you provide a link/hint on the 'tilde' thing?)
My guess on the filter ... begins with an A! (of course!)
Regards,
Bill C
e.b.--thanks for posting such a great pic. it almost looked like a painting already!
cj--that's gorgeous! such a soft, pretty look. love the self-framing on it, too. great job!
jeaniesa--i'm so glad you did post this. it's wonderful!!!
BillC--wow! i love how you balanced the light and the dark in this one. terrific!
my man BK--look at you all down with the Anistropic filter.
(where's my prize????? cash is always nice.) I like both of your versions...very well done!!!
fishboy--you most certainly are good at other things besides plants and animals. great work!
chuck--I love it!
Mine is just a quickie done with Paint Engine. I added a few friends for our distant horsie. He looked lonely.
I really liked this picture when I saw it. Bill and I must have been working on the same idea at the same time as far as changing the dirt in the fore ground. I added blue bells.
All the submissions are great.
Took a picture of blue bells from the web and dup it a bunch of times. Worked the bightness and contrast. Used dry brush and plaster filters.
Wow, so many great efforts...changes in light and color can make so much difference, can't they? Lots of good work here, but a few really caught my eye: CJ, the lighting is absolutely perfect! This is a wonderful bit of photo art! Jeanie, the panorama is a great idea and turned out really well! Amanda I love the ponies you added...perfect touch! Chuck, that's a great painting and the added clouds add extra oomph...great job!
I have been struggling with this photo for some time. It was taken on the occupied side of Cyprus, and shows my family longingly gazing at a ghost city through barbed wire. I am relatively happy with the composition and the captured expressions. My plan was to convert it...
I have been contacted by a lab asking me if I can fix this image. The man has passed away and there isn't another image of him with the baby. I have no idea where to start. Thanks in advance!
