A more successful attempt that yesterdays when it comes to the art effects in Photoshop (and this is not a theme I am going to do to death!). The original photo had far too much contrast in it and was irretrievable, but this effect seems to have had a reasonable go at improving it.
My latest collaboration – our 29th – with cool photographer Richard can be found here, while he continues to do some sterling work over at The Future Is Papier Mache.

I really quite like this, it works well…..though as you say one to use selectively.
Thank you, Mark! 🙂
Oh yes I think this works rather well..
Thanks, Helen! 🙂
