The original picture from my camera. You know when something just cries out for attention, well this did for me. I don't know what it was with this one, not really in focus, a little bit of motion, the colors or the composition that made me want to play with this and explore the potential in photoshop.
Usually I start off with basic adjustments and then into one of the many plugins for photoshop that have accumulated over the years. Sometimes the best thing to do is dive in and play until you arrive at something you like.
Different versions come with filters, layers, blending modes and other modifications. The possibilities are endless and only a couple of clicks away.
If you add in all the things you can do in photoshop like brushes, textures, layers , patterns and blending the limits are only in your mind and sometimes it's just fun to play and see what happens until you like something.
Add a layer here, maybe some brushstrokes....and we get...
And maybe some blending modes.....
And end up here.....
