One Photo Focus – November, Helen Chen

It’s One Photo Focus time again……..even though I will admit to being a touch under the pump (very busy for you non Aussies), I still managed to make some edits on this image. On the right is Helen Chen’s original, it sort of reminded me of old temples in Cambodia and Indonesia and such; where the jungle has reclaimed the buildings………..so that is where I let the image take me.

All processed in Photoshop;

• added adjustment layers to darken the edges to create atmosphere
• coloured overlays and additional shadows
• added some grass, more vines, & cobwebs
• additional textured overlays as well
• Added a black layer over the top to bring it all together and then by using a mask I removed most of the black with a thick heavy brush
• Then added a crooked frame for added interest and made a new background from some colours in the image.

Til next month, happy snapping…………
