Description

Early Autumn . . .still warm and sunny. A back country road. . . only a red pickup truck and you to enjoy it. The fields golden, the sky blue and cloudless - can it get any better? Enjoy.

This is actually multiple filters. Using PSE I took the original image, duplicated it and turned the dupe layer into black and white. I duplicated the B & W layer and added an empty layer above it and set the blend mode to Color. I painted on this layer to add the colors. Next I went to the lower B & W layer and applied a Graphics Pen layer. Finally I went back to upper B & W and reduced the opacity until I got the look I was after.

I do love driving those back roads. In fact, I never drive a freeway if there is a farm to market road available. :-)

Let's Tske It To The Limit One More Time Excellent capture... Sounds like a lot of post work here I really hate freeways anymore.... Texting....cell phones....and humongous tractor trailers...makes me jittery I love the open road....people sitting on the front porch and waving...seeing pretty blue birds.....and even the dog looking for home...... Excellent presentation I have up a new one drop by if ya haven't already Hugs Susan~

Outstanding postwork. I always really appreciate someone who will share how a picture was postworked...we all do it differently but I always learn something new this way! And I like your final result...I've driven some of those back roads myself years ago when I had a Corvette convertible. Ahhhhhh, the memories:)

The lure of that two-lane blacktop never goes away. Looks like you put a boat load of work into this but the results were well worth it. Very painterly look to it.

I like the effect. The colors are really quite nice and it's a creative touch to make it look more like a drawing than a photograph, I think it makes the mood of this more immediate because it looks like it took longer to produce than a photograph. As a photograph it's perfect, but the post work gives it a different feel that I think works really well.
