Unique Filters

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks,

Looked at my sketch & oil painting, and thought they looked more conventional, rather than OOTB. So, I took my Roadrunner photo, experimented with different filters in CS4 until I was pleased with the results. IMHO, way out in left field, however, sort of minimalist which would fit in on the stark white walls of my niece's?

I was pleased the way it turned out, added a 1px. border, darkened & sharpened the eye subtly, added the sig

Printed it on Mitsubishi Pictorico Ultra Premium Luster photo paper, which nice IMHO. Gina says I don't have a humble bone in my body :eek:

CC's warmly invited.

Keep smiling

I like this version a lot too, Gus. :) Nice minimalist feel and the rock texture fits the subject well. Very nicely done.

I couldn't have said it better myself.:)
This would make a very nice note card.

Hi Gus, I like this treatment a lot! It reminds me a lot of paper cut art. Really works well with this image. Nice dimensionality.

Nice image and application, Gus.

I have experimented with that Note Paper filter as well and got some interesting results. Like yours for the depth of the imprint. ;)
