The Bean

[Mark Fuge]

One of the major tourist attractions in Chicago reflects the skyline and the tourist who come to visit. It’s hard, if not impossible, to get a photo of just the bean without tourist in it. This was previously shown in another view with different processing.

Modification in CS4, Fractalius and Topaz included: Fract, Selective Colors, Accent Edges, Topaz Adjust 5, Curves, Rough Pastels, and other normal PS image adjustments.

Enjoy!

Wow, I really like this one, Mark! Love all the filter effects, and the abstracted reflection of the Chicago skyline. Nice work!!

Mark, I'm glad you told us what this was. I would have never guessed it. I like the reflection and I would love to see this in person.

[Judy Howle]

Nice filter work Mark. I too like the reflection in the bean and would love to see it in person.

Thanks all for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

It is located downtown, just north of the Art Museum, should you ever venture that way. Worth the visit, if you are in Chitown.

Thanks Andrew and Paul for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

The filter work on this image brings out the best and suits the large curve of the sculpture. You managed to make the people seem a natural part of the image. I think this has something to do with the unified colors. Great reflection in the sculpture. Well done, and congratulations.
