Really this was a day shot? I'd never know. Can I see the day shot and hear about your technique?

Love the contrast Ray.

Very nice shot. Could you share a little bit on your PP technique?

Ray. I love it. I think this is a great job of taking what was a probably an ordinary image taken during the day and making it pop with pp. Well Done.

Hi

Thank you for the very nice comments which for me a s a reltive newbie are appreciated.

I have posted the original below so you can get a feel for the blandness of the original shot.

As for the workflow I used PWL (painting with light, illustrated look and also then applied a filter - posterise (very slight just to sharpen edges etc)

I obviously had to cut the building out to create a black background and did that with Rusell Browns advanced. Had to do that because of the edges etc.

If anyone wants the actual psd file I am happy to send as that is not a problem. I have also posted below another work from the same day and which I treated differently - thought you may wish to have a look.

All the best

Ray
