when i saw that shot i could not resist ! :paint

so here Barcellona as was seen by Lucy ( with my glasses on)

Barcellona (as seen by Lucy Nieto) by PhotoComiX, on Flickr

The composition is very nice but that is all merit of Lucy Nieto that did the original shoot

I really like it and so i try to turn in a paint

I used a gimp gmic gmic.sourceforge.net/gimp.shtml and a filter ,and Graphic Novel Fx
( here, on viewtopic.php?f=11&t=972 )

This is very close to the "Sharp Value" preset (only difference i activated post-smoothing )

Here Lucy Original

Barcelona en nov - BCN 2010 7464 by Lucy Nieto, on Flickr


I am really puzzled to what look as a fleet of the most classic UFO on the very top
Do you also see those white bright thingies in the Sky ?

Even if they distract the attention from the image focus i stubborny prevented myself to edit them.. i don't want be accused to hide proofs of UFO activities

I imagine even UFO's need to refuel - why not Barcelona? Spain is beautiful!

That's a great photo and I love your results, PhotoComix.

I agree, those are UFO's flying in formation.

The bird in the window really sets the image off imo.
I gotta admit they look like round objects flying around up there.


They could also be lights in the room (ceiling), reflecting off the window glass.
But if that's the case they have some really clean windows!

PS:
I love the shadow of the little bird. =)

I'd prefer to believe they are UFO's. Get me on the trip roster, too, Greg. Errmmm, I'll need some one way tickets to Spain, though. :)

I see many of us have something in common, hahaha...

PC: Excellent shot, UFOs or not. I really like the way this turned out.

I turned on the Holy Grail beacon, so they'll know I'm ready to go and they'll come to NJ to get me!
