Mr Schaeffer is constantly my inspiration. I cant explain quite why...............

Anyway, here is my picture.

I like it. What post processing effect did you use?
Good evening.

I'm afraid that I cant really answer that question, but I can tell you the basics of how it was done.

First, the bulk of the background is removed.
The bike is treated to various edge enhancements, and made b&w.
A brightly coloured brush-stroked layer is then placed under it, and blended as required by the colour interactions.
The flattened image is treated with curves and saved at a high compression level.

Thank you for you positive comments.
Hmmm.. interesting.

Cheers,

JT
This is a nice and creative work. I loved it.
Thank you,
with my love,

I think you started your post processing with a very interesting image. Your work goes very well with the motif of your picture... However, I am missing a bit more meaning in the colors....
...........However, I am missing a bit more meaning in the colors....

Yes, I understand. The Harley Davidson has greyed in the UK. A certain association is developing which isnt too healthy. I suppose I've subconsciously illustrated my feelings..........
Either that, or it's just a bit dull!! :-)
Great work! I really like what you've done with it - amazing what you can turn photos into!
