Although I’m not really into Digital Arts, I thought I would give this one from @trudeehunter a try. I like the idea of working on a picture you didn’t shot yourself 😊

I didn’t follow all the rules myself (I upvoted the post, but didn’t resteem as I don’t like to have too many resteems in my feed) so… I’m disqualified from the beginning 😊 But I don’t mind, just participating for the fun of it.
So, the basic idea is to make some piece of digital art from a Dud picture like this one :

And I’m glad you said it yourself @trudeehunter but… this one is really dud 😊 Furthermore it’s a JPG and I always shoot in RAW so… you can really call this a challenge.
Most of the time I start by trying to edit the picture to get it as sharp and close to reality as possible. As I didn’t saw the original scene, I had to guess and came up with this :

Not really what I would post normally… but as I had to manipulate it further, this quality will do.
The final result is an attempt to make an “old photograph style” picture and this is what I came up with :

Hope someone likes this end-result 😉 At least, I had fun working on it so thank you for this challenge @trudeehunter!

Curious to see my other work?
