This month Shane Francescut has given us a photo of a playground with a glass house, dome and high rise in the background to
play with. Here at the right is Shane’s original photo.
The first thing I noticed was the glass house with a beautiful looking dome. This is what I focused on solely and cropped quite harshly in so I just incorporated the dome in the photo.
I did this in Photoshop and after changing to black and white I explored the filter gallery and selected “inked outlines”. This gave it a surreal feel. A little straightening and I was done.
I must admit I didn’t spend a lot of time exploring different options so will be quite interested to see what others have done. I fell in love with the glass dome so didn’t stray away from this.

Thanks Loisa I wasn’t sure thought it might be too drastic a crop so appreciate your thoughts 🙂

THe close crop is an interesting approach and not one I thought of. I think the filter used does a good job covering up the artifacts from editing such a close crop.

Hey, Kaz! I went back and forth (no pun intended) about which part of the photo I liked better – the dome or the teeter-totter – but never thought about focusing just on the dome. I love that you did this and I love the filter you chose 🙂 Inspired choice! Thanks so much for participating this go-round. It’s always fun to have you!
