Too Much Time On My Hands?
Every once in a while I will look at a picture and think “What if?” Yesterday I was looking at the pictures of the horses and riders on the beach and I remembered a series of rodeo pictures I took a few years ago where I applied a filter and did some layer blending to make a grittier more illustrative look and I thought “What if I applied that look to some of these images”
Here are the before and after images that I have done so far. Please let me know what you think before I spend too much time working on more.
For those wondering about the technical aspects, I opened the image, duplicated the Background layer, ran a filter using Topaz Adjust (use this link to save 15%), added a layer mask to the filtered layer and painted back the original skin tones, and then ran a Curve adjustment layer on the Background layer to match the contrast.
