Golden Buddha

Thank you kind sir! As I said in the commentary… I take no credit in re-inveinventing the wheel because I saw this done on a postcard. Coming from Photoshop Newbie to someone who appreciates my results in one session I will take you comments gladly!! Thanks :O)

congratulations! lol!
i downloaded the free trail version of photo shop but i haven’t had timet o play with it yet :P
this gives me hope!

=)

Regina… i’m like thomas the tank engine… “i think i can i think i can… choo choo lol!!” thanks for your nice comments!!

That’s great and I havn’t learnt how to do that yet – teach me?? Or can you just direct me to to right button? lol

it was a complicated process involving lots of shiraz….. i don’t know where the cursing button is on the computer… hehehhe. seriously. I selected the face using the pencil tool. then after that i got lost. i think it involved editing the paths options and colours… once i work it out again and have it down pat i’ll happily help anyone. if there are any photoshop masters out there who view this please jump in!!

Thanks khosie, that just went riiight over my head… I will try starting with the pencil tool thing and see how I go :)

Hi khosie,
I love what you’ve done with this image. There’s a postcard seller around the Khao Sarn Road district in Bangkok that does similar work…ie: desaturating the background, then highlighting significant items like monks robes, or a temple etc…wonder if this is who you saw?

wow

also for an easier method without using the pen tool, simply paint the colour in using airbrush and set it to soft light.

btw kim this is on the community front page! http://www.redbubble.com/community

wOW such a cool idea. NIce work!

If this is a beginning in photoshop, then I can’t imagine how great the images will be a little further on. YOU GO!!

This is Art…Love it a lot…best regards

Nice job… congrats.

You did verrrrry well and you did better then some I’ve seen that’s been using photoshop for years!

My attempts at Photoshop are at best Crude! You managed to grasp the tool so quickly, that alone is a piece of art!

And I like the result alot. Wish truly, I had that understanding of photoshop … or maybe I don’t because then I’d rely too much on it, and wouldn’t put that much effort anymore in shooting my pictures ;c) (Good thing in that case is, that analogue pictures are not the best to actually post process in photoshop ;) ... )

Eitherway, great job you did! :D

Fantastic image, very creative, it has great initial impact, you have good talent, very well done

Great Photoshopping Khosie!

Congratulations Khosie!!

With an image as beautiful as this,

It’s hard to believe your a “Novice”

You should be very proud!!

Thanks for the nice words guys!! I’m not quite sure what to follow this up with hehehe. I think I have peaked to early hahaha. All downhill from here :O)

Well done, you have a good result here!

this picture is amazing to bad theres a chain in the corner of it.

Could be cropped out I guess but I thought I’d vignetted and blended enough… In a way it’s a good reminder as to my noviceness and also the fact that if you saw that place i real life you’d know that trying to get a photo at the right angle without it in it is ny on impossible. thanks for your feedback though – constructive comments always welcome!!

Chain removed!!

Great picture.

this is wonderful!!

i love this shot some much better with out the chain and that is a great thing im not a huge fan of photoshop due to the fact that it often prevents people from truely developing themselfs as photographers but this is one of the few cases where i actually prefferre the photoshop results due to the fact that you have already distint photographic talent.
so thanks for recognizing my contructive critisism for what it truely was.

This is excellent ,I would never believe you were a novice..I think it is brilliant work.Well done.

Superb!!!, too original!!!.

I think you did a really great job on this photo. I am just trying to figure out photoshop myself. I often give up and go to one of my old programs that I know how to navigate better. I have been trying to figure out how to add color to a black and white photo. Anyway I just wanted to say that this is a really cool photo and good job.

this is at wat mahathat, yes? ayutthaya is great!

Good job

Oh this is amazing! Great work with photoshop, I love it!

Perfect..reminds me of my meeting with it..

original idea the contrast of the gold against the wood bark is brilliant…nice work

Beautiful.

really good – fabulous

Fantastic work. Thailand is an amazing place. We hope you will consider joining our group Exotic Thailand , and share more of your Thai artwork with us.

You seem to be a very curious makes your work very interesting :) person :))

Thanks Cvail. My mum would call me an anti-social lass and my husband thinks I have my head up my arse quite a bit but I prefer your title of “curious” hehehhe. :O)

wow this is amazing, makes me really want to learn how to use photoshop!!!

absolutely wonderful. im still tripping over how u could possibly make the golden tint look so real with all the diff shades off gold:)
looks fab

Love your shot! So eye catching. Impressive!

Quote “Sometimes photography is about ego… this time it’s just about feeling bloody pleased that I got past File… Open!! Unquote hahahaha good laugh and been there done that. Still this made me gravitate, solid piece

Haha! A well-worn classic (which I’ve done myself – couldn’t resist), but nicely done just the same. Nice shot!
