I've been trying to find ways to use some of Elements' odder filters. This photo took well to lots of different filters, so it seemed to be a good candidate for more radical experimentation. I ended up with the Note Paper filter. Once I'd reduced the opacity and played around a little with levels and contrast, I ended up with something rather like a silk screen.
I am really inspired by your use of filters. I am now starting to play too. I like this picture with the filter - it is a bit more graphic and stands out.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
I think the filter made the image a bit "richer" in color and shadows. I love watching you "play"!!
