This was done using a technique developed by Corey Barker. Make a copy of the layer (Control-J.) Then apply Glowing Edges. Adjust it so the edges are clearly defined. Click OK, then Control-I to invert. Use the eraser tool at different levels of opacity to paint back some of the original photo. It produces a nice watercolor sketch effect.
...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.
A very artsy effect - I like it!
