Challenge: Best of 2002 (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: HP PhotoSmart 320
Location: Cumberland Island, GA
Date: Nov 30, 2002
Aperture: 4.5
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/66th
Galleries: Landscape
Date Uploaded: Apr 1, 2006

 Taken with an old HP Photosmart something-or other - 2.1 megapixels and no optical zoom. I treated it as a toy and used my film cameras for any real shots.

This is the ruins of a mansion located on Cumberland Island, GA.

The original isn't all that special, but it sure was fun to play with photoshop without much in the way of rules to get in the way.

Neatimage, crop, desat, sepia tone, additional burning in the sky, cookie cutter, resize, mutiple canvas resizes to build the frame, and then finally sponge-texture to give the old-leather feel to the frame.

Good for you for stepping out of the DPC comfort zone and doing something different!

Love this shot. The duotone treatment really works well, and I thought the glow treatment also added to the age of the photo. Great job. 10

Very distracting border, but cool sepia tones...

The border works well with the treatment you gave the photo. Like it.

The border is too much, takes away from the photo.

I love what you've done to this image - except - for that border.

I don't like the border much and it's unfortunate that the door is a bit in the centre. The right side doesn't add much to the photo. Processing is interesting but could possibly benefit from more contrast.

IMHO the frame is just to much!

I like the image but not the frame. I'd tilt it slightly left - it's a touch uneven.
