Interesting photo. This one will be worth coming back to to see if I can make more of the lines.
This is one of my favorite actions that I've made for myself, but I tend to forget I've got it. It starts with these layers.
1. Fantastic machine's leroy
2. Fantastic machine's tempD
3. DC Special's outliner 4
after blending these, merge to a new layer and run Flaming Pear's melancholytron.
Top this with a find edges layer and then adjust hue and saturation.
Here's my take on it:
* Simplified using Alien-Skin Image Dr JPG Cleaner w/ Blur Edges
* Recolored/Softened using Auto-F/X Dreamy Photo
* Watercolor Filter
* Lightened using histogram
I especially like your rendition. Your manips are a breath of fresh air.

Well done yet again. I like the color scheme a lot.

Started out thinking I wanted to do a straight color to BW conversion, then got carried away.
Here's the general approach I took by layer (top to bottom)
* Color Fill (color)
* Original image (luminosity): Restore some detail via Hide All layer mask
* Background copy to which Posterize (Levels=3) + Cutout applied
Tried this one over a cup of coffee. I duped the layer and set the blend mode to difference and then added a nightvision filter I forgot I had but thought it would work. The final touch was a little brush work.
jch--very nice--I like it. It puts me a little in mind of the way things look on a rainy night.
Jeff and Danny--purple? is it something in the air? I think I'll echo the question of what sent all three of you in that direction--it's statistically significant
The outline effect comes mostly from DC Special's outliner 4 (freebie). http://www.bmath.net/new/prvw.htm I haven't made much use of most of the filters at this site, but the outliner 4 is a nice one--worth adding.
Thank you Jeff! I rarely use that filter but as soon as I looked at that photo I thought it was a great candidate for it!
It was sorta cold and rainy this morning and blue seemed to be an automatic choice for me. That and it seemed to work better when I inverted the image.
Shortly after I posted that I ventured out and went to the Covered Bridge Festival in Indiana. Quite a rainy and windy road trip but I'm thinkin I may have a few keepers. At least I hope so...
thanks jch, it sure is and I've only scratched the surface from that plug-in.
I really have Cheryl to thank for bringing and keeping it under our attention!
The only real changes are the image was changed to black and white and I used a gradient. I call it "Sunset over the Tracks".
By the way if anyone know how to make a reflected gradient using your own foreground and background colors or know of a tutorial I would greatly appreciate any help. If you need more clarification of what I said please email me.
Margaret:
Nice job, really different I like it. Margaret, I know how the center is made (I Hope) with the elliptical marquee tool, but how do you do an "X". Thank for a tip if you don't mind.

Great shot by R.Hall of his son takin' a BIG swing (and connecting). Too bad about the red blanket (or jacket) behind the fence, but maybe you can splice a section of fence over it.
