Creative interpretations: Cathedral and Skyscraper II (with attachment :-0 )
* Used Selective Color and Quick Mask to build a mask for dropping out the sky
* Applied the mask to isolated the skyscraper and church and sky background onto separate layers
* Applied Threshold adjustment layer to the buildings for a stark black and white look
* Applied Microsoft Impressionist Natural Media/Cloth Scraps, Charcoal/Default and Natural Media/Gauze on the background.
* Used Clone tool to clean up both layers.
I've been lurking for a while, finally had the time to try a challenge!
Adjust levels, selective color, perspective.
Ran Mike Finn's Insta-Paint action.

Andante: Sorry, I don't know the location. The photographer didn't mention it.
Christine: Good eye for the possibility. Cleverly done.
Patricia: A BIG Welcome from the shadows. Glad you decided to jump into the pool. Now that you've got your toes wet, don't hesitate to keep on playing. You definitely have what it takes: The desire to do it, the tools and the ability. Keep 'em coming.

Unfortunately, I was out of the country for several weeks on business and did not get to play . However, I am back now!
I separated the skyscraper, and simplified it using PSP's edge preserving smooth. I then selected the sky using the magic-wand, then inverted the selection to have only the buildings. Next, I ran "Filter Farm" on them to create the surrealistic look.
