Post Processing Challenge February 15, 2020

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.

Would someone else like to post the candidate image next week? I don't want to monopolize this and would appreciate a challenge that is not mine that I can respond to. 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.

Punta, if I'm around next weekend, I'd be glad to fill in for you.

My first step (in PSE15) was to use the correct camera distortion filter rather drastically. Aside from the change in perspective, I think I succeeded in creating a long-haired dachshund. Next, I converted the image to b&w in Silver Efex and also used its sliders to adjust sharpness and tonality. This was crazy fun!!

The party was over when the dog came out...
