At the grocery store, I got out of the car and saw this can on the pavement. It just seemed so grungy, sitting in the oil and next to the crack. When I downloaded it, I noticed that the top had never been popped!
I did some USM, Lucis Exposure, Perfectum, more USM, a bit of contrast, desaturated 30% then added red. Voila!
viola is right .. great result alicia .. a simple and ordinary thing made interesting and arty ... this would make a great print too .. love all the different textures and the way the perfectum smooths out the lucisart .. they work so well used together for some images .. :)
