I use the ‘Morphological Gradient' filter to achieve this very same effect without the use of a 'Non Stationery' light source, as can bee seen here: //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=57460
Did you "Use a non-stationary light source (for example, a moving flashlight in your hand) as the primary method of illuminating your subject in a creative manner\" ?
I would like to see the challenge entries maintain "photographic integrity". Really neat that you can do this, but it transforms, imo, this photo too far to the Digital Art side.
Striking use of a neon-glow PS filter (or some such filter), but did you "use a non-stationary light source (for example, a moving flashlight in your hand) as the primary method of illumination"?
neat effect - how did yo do this? I like the refection of the lights in the hadlebar. Nice composition - just enough of thebottom of the tricycle to ground the image. But not the whole thing - then we pay more attntion to the shapes and less to the whole. well thought out. 9
I don't think this photo meets the challenge. There is no photographic technique here... just photoshop. The 'photographic' integrity, which is important in advanced editing challenges has been abused, in my opinion. = 1
