Show Off Your Imagination - Creative Challenge #15

Thank you Julie for tagging me. I appreciate the chance to see what you all do with my photo.
Here is how this challenge works. I've posted an image, your challenge is to do whatever you want to it and post your results along with what you did to get the effect you came up with ... IF you can remember all the steps you took. My picture was taken in California ,Looking forward to seeing your imaginations at work.


There is no time limit to this challenge. Feel free to post as many times as you want. Remember to have fun!

I will post mine first to get everyone going.





I duplicated the picture. Enhanced the saturation. Then played around with the sliders in the craquelure filter. Hope you like it.

For some reason, this made me think of one of Kimi's old homework assignments: #26 Soft-Edge Cell-Shading.



The replacement sky was tweaked, Filter>Artistic>Watercolor, before dragging onto the image.

Rusty

Workflow... a lot a different effects.
Preparation: denoising, decrease contrast, transform/distort (increased hight)
- then different layers, most visible effects: porcelain (Xero), chrome,
- finished by hue/saturation

very nice, Michel but you forgot to add how you did it

Rusty i love the soft look. Gonna have to try that tutorial.
Suzi -great take on the picture.
MichelB -turned my picture into an old time postcard.
I love seeing what you all have done.

I used a Mehdi Edges FX/sketch filter on this.
