Bench Series: Arty | Grand Canyon

Bench, south rim of the Grand Canyon.

I seem to have become infected with Jude’s enthusiasm for benches. On my recent holiday in Canada and the US, I found myself zeroing in on benches. “Ooh, that’s a cool bench!” I would think. Snap snap. For Jude’s June theme of “arty benches“, I’ve chosen a bench on the south rim of the Grand Canyon, Arizona. Above is the original; below are a selection of Photoshopped alternatives. Do you have a favourite?

1 – hue adjustments

2 – rough pastels

3 – B&W – I don’t remember what I did, but I like this!

4 – crystallize

5 – Old Fashioned: duotone sepia, plus film grain and Gaussian blur

6 – cutout

7 – find edges
