Post Processing Challenge Aug 14, 2021

There are no rules as to how you apply your post processing to this image; but, please let us know what you have done so we can all learn.
If you would like to post a candidate image next week, please ensure it is of sufficiently high resolution for manipulation by the participants (3000px on the long side, 300dpi for example).

Most of all, let's have fun while we are learning or demonstrating how we use our post-processing software, imaginations and interpretations.

As seen at the 'Toy' Museum in Nuremberg. Sweet dreams, little ones.

 

I had loads of fun with this one, Punta. It's a refreshing change of pace.

All my work done in PSE2020 . . . Cloned out dots, used levels to emphasis shadows throughout the frame; used impressionist brush to brighten and soften selectively, then applied sharpening tool

 

Hopefully, still unsettling as the original. I used a painting action, followed by SNS-HDR and further adjustments in ACR.

 

From an episode of Star Trek.

 

Glenn:
Now you have me wondering if that is the Starfleet Commander's hair or a Tribble on his head?

 

Those tribbles.... are so tribblesome.

 

Blur and levels.

 

I used Luminar 4 to change the background. Then with PS CS6 I played with contrast, brightness and vibrance.
