this photograph was taken at darling harbour of a couple of random kids going down the escalators ..
no textures used in the processing ..
i got the look by turning the original photograph into a line drawing and putting that over the original background layer in normal mode ..
i then created a mask and selectively erased areas so that the original photograph showed thru but retained the line drawing feel in other areas .. then did a few adjustment layers and used color efex/midnight applied twice in different blending modes .. sharpened and saved for web ..
this is the original extremely boring photograph in case anyone is interested ..
cutout said that this reminded him of escher .. I LOVE ESCHER .. such a fantastic compliment .. :)
Love it LOTS! Wonderful shapes, and it is very 'escheresque' :-) I really like the combination of combining drawing filters with the image itself, and you've done it fabulously here!!
Wowee, Roz - another inspired image from you. Shadows and reflections... some of my favorite things! Love how the drawing becomes reality from top to bottom... Good stuff!
