Hi guys,

I never come in this screenshot section, you probably know it. I'm not such a fan of edited screenshots in fact. But recently I was bored and after resizing some screenshots I decided to play a little bit with the effects. The result is my actual desktop wallpaper.

The high-resolution can be found here.
Cheers.

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Very cool, the HR looks like an old photo...well done

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Thanks a lot Chuck

Indeed I'm quite satisfied with how it looks, especially on the high-res shot. But honnestly, it was pure luck. I've been trying again with another shot (nose shot in the showcase section) and I could not get the same result, it was either exagerated or not visible enough.... editing isn't easy at all, is it ? Cheesy

The only way I get a good edit is by accident.......some of the edits here completely amaze me Shocked
