Punta thanks for posting an image today. All work in Gimp. I cropped in on on the cross walk signs and changed the aspect ratio. I used the clone tool to remove the two post at the start of the cross walk. I used the path tool to select figure in the sign in the upper left corner and made three copies. Then I added a text layer.

2027292751_newppctodaycopy.thumb.jpg.9fd1d905ecc373d2f76b73892943bcc9.jpg A really good image choice, Punta. Initially, using PSE15, I cropped from the left and top to eliminate the light pole, the black car, and some of the sky. Then, I used on of Color Efex's vintage film filters, followed by a levels adjustment in PSE. Sharpened with Output Sharpener.

2nd version

 

Initially changed crop to landscape in PSE. Then used spherize filter, 150% in reverse, to distort the horizontal, and applied the cutout filter. Added red in the sky with replace color tool. Cropped from both sides to create square format. Then applied Output Sharpener.

Kelowna is a beautiful city nestled on Lake Okanagan. They have a lot to be proud of.

 

In LR, I cropped and added an exposure gradient at the top to darken the sky a bit. I also opened up the shadows a bit.

In PS, I selected the letters individually using the pen tool and put each on its own layer using copy and paste. I filled the holes by reselecting the letters and using content aware fill. I had to go back and use the healing brush to clean things up.

I couldn't find a good anagram using all of the letters of PARAMOUNT so I took the easy way out. All that was needed was to move the letters into place. I added a Canadian flag from another of my images, put a border on the whole thing and then went back to LR to add a vignette and export.

 

I am sorry if I offend Trump supporters or any of our American cousins. I'd expect a Tweet at any time after posting this except I'm not on Twitter.1899362680_NoTrump.thumb.jpg.bfc061296b77d906d4df9170ab7b108c.jpg

You did not offend me at all, Punta.

Totally uncalled for.

 

If you are the Frans Waterlander who authored The Obama Doctrine: Socialism, Corruption and Economic Collapse, you must know about the danger of making assumptions about a photograph. Anyone who produces documentary photographs brings with them all his/her socio-political beliefs, some of which may indeed be biases. Art doesn't necessarily presuppose rationality.

Really? Since when is commenting on images posted on this forum trolling? Aren't we a tad close-minded here?

Expect a reaction when you edit an image in a provocative manner; if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. And what happened to the "no politics" policy?
