Eleven degrees on January 11th? I hope you can play those numbers somewhere. Hahaha. I love this picture and the tones are great!

Comment by GeneralE:
I love playing with Curves adjustments to create strange colors -- by making the colors unreal, you the semi-abstract shapes get into the essence of their type of object, rather than trying to document some particular example.

Try dragging several points into arbitrary shapes (e.g. the letters "M" or "W") and see what you get, and also try inverting or distoring the individual color channels -- I create a new adjustment layer for each ... this also allows you to order them differently in the Layers window, as the order in which they're applied makes a difference. Have fun!

You can see some old examples of mine in this pBase Gallery.

I think you and I are on the same vibe this week! I spent the morning working on tree shots I took last week!

excellent job Deb - making a note about actions, I don't know too much about those.

I just downloaded those actions too. Can't wait to play with them. You have a knack for finding interesting people in the crowds.

Very cool, gives the man a lot of punch. Feels kind of like he's walking out of an old movie or something.
