Gerald Cafferty Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Another weekly challenge. If anyone else would like to post next week please give it a go, upload a High resolution jpeg. Just indicate by Wednesday next in this thread if you are willing to try. Remember there are no rules you can do what you wish in your interpretation, but if you can give information of the steps taken and software used to add interest. It is not meant as a competition just a bit of fun. The source photo is the remains of Wroxeter Roman town in Shropshire UK, the background building is a modern interpretation of a Roman villa.

tom_r Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I was going for the Roman villa look despite the fence and the guardrail. Lightroom and Photoshop: Change of perspective and sharpening with Focus Magic. Smart Photo Editor (Anthropics): Application of an effects filter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellinder Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 To me, te predominance of human structures called out for b&w. Initially, in PSE15, I cropped from the left and top, straightened the horizon, and applied levels. The balance was done in Silver Efex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerald Cafferty Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Elements to clone out grey board and electric pole and cables. Straightened horizontals aligned on villa roof. In LR cropped and basic adjustments. In Silver Efex Pro carried out mono conversion, toned and added border. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellinder Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I decided to put up a different version, that started with a more drastic crop from the right in PSE15. In Color Efex, I applied a warming filter and then solarized the image. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, since I live in Hurricane Irma's projected path, my wife and I are driving to central Florida where the storm's impact hopefully will be less. So I'll be incommunicado at least until next Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn McCreery Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I decided to concentrate on the right side of the image rather than left. I darkened the sky, Sharpened and darkened the closer rock faces, cloned out the right side path and telephone pole, and then in NIK ColorEfex used the low key setting, and finally used the Polaroid tear off setting to define the border. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
