This piece of photo art was made from the photograph in the upper left corner of the collage used to display the artwork. Garden Notes, a texture from my pdpa Magic Dust textures Set One was used in the processing, and is used as the background in the collage. (Just to be clear, the collage is not the photo art - just the vehicle I am using to present it this week.)
You can see the original photo was very lack luster - but with a little brightening and sharpening it was ready for the application of Garden Notes texure. Difference blending mode at 85% opacity was used. I then added the Filter, Poster Edges and reduced its opacity to 70%.
(As mentionned in a previous post, I have reduced the number of days that it will be possible to link up, from four to three. Photo Art Friday's inlinkz option will close from now on each Sunday at 7:00 p.m. EST.)

ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting Bonnie, I love your image, it reminds me of when I was at design college :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent post-processing.

What a fun way you've arranged the original image to peek over the complex treatment you've given it. It seems to have turned into a graphic illustration right before its own eyes. As always, it's very intriguing to see just how textures can completely transform an ordinary photo into something artistic.
