For this month’s One Photo Focus, I decided to go with something different.
I took the photo and applied the ‘glowing edges’ filter in Photoshop CS5. The details of it were: edge 5, brightness 10, and smoothness 10. Then I applied the HDR Toning effect to the picture where I raised the saturation and lowered details.
And that was about it.
To check out other bloggers’ edits of the photo, make sure you go to Stacy’s post this week.
I always play around with those glowing edges, but haven’t had the nerve to actually present a photo using them! Good job on thinking outside the box. It turned out great!

Thank you. I think I’ve only done one or two others myself. I play with it, but it doesn’t seem to alway “work.” So I was excited this one did:)

I didn’t even know this filter existed (well, in fact, there’s a lot about PS I don’t know, so thanks for introducing me to this!). This kind of reminds me of a technique I remember from many years ago – if I remember correctly, you would color a piece of cardboard with lots of different colored crayons, color over all with a black crayon, and then use a stylus to etch your picture through the black layer to expose the colors underneath. Does that ring any bells whatsoever or have I been smelling glue? I can picture it in my mind; I just don’t know if I’m remembering the procedure clearly. Very fun, imaginative result, Michelle 🙂

Thanks Stacy! It does sound familiar but maybe I smelled the same glue, lol! I don’t recall too much of it or the name either. Hhhhmmmm

Hahaha. I’m going to have to google it to see what I come up with. Problem is, I don’t quite know what words to plug in 😉

Very exciiting edit for something that you make sound so easy. Looks a lot like something Warhol would do! 🙂

Electrifying result, I like this different approach. It looks like you took fluorescent markers and doodled around.

Hmm, Saint Elmo’s Fire? (Not the movie, the phenomenon). Very cool interpretation and way different than the rest of us.

Not sure if it’s good or bad to be so different, lol!

A most original approach to the image. Almost has a neon feel.

I liked the fainter details that picked up the statues face with this treatment, very outside the square 🙂
