As always, 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.

 

Lots of balconies in Barcelona.

Great photo, Tom! More than 50 years ago, I was quite good at 'technical drawing' at school and I had ambitions of someday becoming an architect (though at 15, I had very little understanding of what that really meant! Luckily, I failed miserably at my first 'apprenticeship' interview and my schooling and work career took a very different path.

 

But when I looked at this photo, I imagined (very unrealistically) one architect designing these buildings from a rough sketch. So this is what I came up with. Mainly with Photoshop filter Sketch (notepaper) with 'architectural lines on a separate layer.

Just distortion&sharpness correction and levels for contrast/color in Photoshop.

I recently created a desaturated Lightroom preset which I applied to this photo. It was meant to be subtle but maybe this pic was already not over saturated.

A combination of two sketch versions.
