Sunday Afternoon in Chinatown

Fantastic! I love this work.

A visual delight.

yes.

Cool! That is very cool!

I`m in total agreement with all the comments above,. this just really works..

soooooo cool would love to know how you did that !!!!

Thanks guys – Tamarama – I found a colourful wall in Chinatown and just photographed people walking past it. Photoshop did the rest.

I love this! Wanna know how you did that too!!!

Srtunning work – a brilliant spin on it. Very spectacular Flamejob!

Wow this is one of your best works i love it :)

what photoshop action was it ? I’m still feelin my way through with the photoshop there’s so much to learn !

Tam, I selected a ‘vapour trail’ shaped area behind his head, feathered it by about 200 then used a great plugin called Flaming Pear’s Swerve, which does all the warping. I then selected over the last third of the warped area (towards the far left), feathered it by about 200 again and then used Ps’s ‘Plastic Wrap” filter.

Cheers

Ooer, yes, I do like this one :)

thanks flamejob ! will have to transcribe that comment and try and make sense of it later !

funky photo man!!!!

You’ve done a great job with this! thanks for sharing the process too! (Not that I have that filter…lol)

Brilliant.

v nice

That really is awesome.

wow, how effective is that! looks like the vapour trail is following the old man. great work!

Truly Awesome Flamejob, love it!

I thought it looked like a Photoshop liquify, I’m only just starting out and thanks to Mel, I am slowly learning the many facets of PS CS3… I think what I need is a few years worth of practice and going support!

Where can I find the Vapor trail in PS CS3?

This is brilliant!! How have I not commented on this sooner???

I love it, so creative and original!

Brilliant effect! Love ya work.

Nice effect using flaming pear, flamingjob. Moving the swerves effect down to the bottom of the image would have given it a totally whole meaning ;)

Brilliant. Love it.

An inspiration.

fabulous…

This is magical. I love it.

Terrific image. This really works. The viewer’s eyes are drawn out of the image which usually distracts but this one is outstanding. Fantastic composition.

Awes! Love how the gloves match the background…

This is a great idea, the effect works really well

Stunning compostion and timing, the artists eye sees….

Ok this is just to cool…love the effects of the wavy lines appearing to follow the gentleman…excellent creativity!

Very cool…your creative style is fresh and vivid! Love this!

I often wondered what peoples thoughts and agitations looked liked and how they affected the imediate surroundings, this a good image of how that may look.
