Auntblabby, yes, I did enhance the orange color and made the other colors less.


everybody here is much more artsy than i could think of being. all i do with photoshop is just in the opposite direction of art, namely i make things look better to my own self, in terms of saturating colors [i LOVE saturated colors], sharpening things sharper than reality, eliminating flaws such as compression artifacts in found web photos, making desktop wallpapers from found web pics/backgrounds, and such.


then your style is more to photography style than graphic-design-like...that's what I think...

Perhaps my best attempt to take a stock photo and make it look like a painting.

Wow, that's nice Prof. I dig it. :)

Would you mind sharing your process?

Thank you Moog. I have this desire to take stock photos and turn them into something else. I have a friend who's obsessed with the US Civil War so I took pics or re-enactors and turned them into antique looking photos.
