When I heard of the "Other Art forms" challenge I took that to mean that we needed to take pictures of art. The more I read and the more I thought about it the more I realized I was wrong. Of course I had already shot this so I figured I could use it. It might not be voter friendly but why shouldn't I enter it?
Processing was a lot and yet not. Levels adjustment, clarify and saturation boost plus a vignette were added in LR2. I did a pass in Noise Ninja and used the resulting TIFF in PSP XI. I used the cyanotype option in Time Machine without the photo edge. (Learned THAT lesson the hard way I am afraid). Tweaked levels again. Added the border. Resized to 1600. Two passes of Sharpen. Resized again to 800. Export to JPG. Voila!
