5 Step Challenge #2

Processed in Picmonkey
1. HDR (intensity at 600%; radius 80)
2. Burst (vibrance 100%)
3. Smudge Texture applied (multiply; 0% fade)
4. Color (saturation- 25; hue- 25)
5. Film edge applied

This one was fun. At each step my goal was to push the application to its limit, with the exception of steps 4 & 5.

Beautiful editing

[Rick Schies]

An awesome series of edits, and I must say, I think this would make a wonderful enlargement

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@kimmistephens Thanks Kimmi!
@digitalrn Thanks Rick!

[Sally Ings]

Very nice, looks like it has texture!

[alia_801]

Very cool result!

[Dione Giorgio]

Very creative, Ann. It is so beautiful. Looks like a Van Gogh painting.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@salza Thanks Sally- that was step #3- a texture called "smudge" was applied. It gave the shot that distressed look.
@alia_801 Thanks Alia- I like this one better than the other one I did.
@sangwann Thanks Dione. Van Gogh? Wow!

Step 6: enlarge to about 5' square, print on canvas and attach to wall. Which is to say that this is a cracking piece of artwork :-)

[Wendy Bowden]

Very nice work, you have created a piece of art

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@automaticslim Oh my- I'd have to split the profits with the one who shot the original though- I can't take 100% credit for this shot- only the editing is completely mine! Thank you Automatic- you certainly know how to make a person feel good!
@wenbow Thank you Wendy. I have to laugh at myself here because I worked on this piece but I had no idea it was going to impact everyone this way!

[Nicole Campbell]

Wow Ann, this is amazing. Congratulations on creating such a wonderful piece.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole. I am surprised at how people are reacting to this. It didn't seem all that special to me!

[Carole Imes]

What an awesome fun creation! Looks like a watercolor painting....great job!

[PamSnaps1]

This looks just like a print ie printmaking! :)

[Vickie Posey]
