Played a bit with a photo of a Lodos logo I took back in 2009 at Denver Colorado.
As a lifetime vegetarian it was a bit of a challenge to have a good meal at a Grill house, but I did had a good meal and a fantastic evening on the rooftop terrace, best view ever!

Speaking of a challenge, any one that would like to give this original their own creative signature?! I'm very curious about all the different versions which could arise!

Hope to see some

Have fun!

Nice challenge Arwin - may get round to doing something with the original sometime soon.

Great to see the two results of different processing. So thanks for sharing Arwin & especially DBenterprises. Both processed images make an impact and are quite compelling to view.

Have a great day!

Andrew.

Hi Arwin,

I've joined the FUN!

Here is a 10 minute effort:

Started in Photoshop Elements 11 where I cropped the image, changed the canvas size and aspect ratio (elongated the original), and finally cloned out imperfections & highlights.

Main processing in Smart Photo Editor:

Applied one of my Metamorphosis effects (Customized it by manual editing)

Applied Fog (the original one)

Made adjustments using the Image Treatment feature

Applied Light Flare effect

Applied Broken Glass Frame

Tweaked result using the Image Treatment feature

Extras:

Sharpened image and resized for SPE Forum in Photoscape

Here is the result:

This is a case of 'Less is More' - I like this.

The effect by the way is by Texan it is called 'Cracking to nothing' a tweak on a Superdave effect (I think) - Anyway thanks folks for a great effect.
