Hola amigos!!

Every thought is important and even more so when it acquires the power of the word. The images themselves have a meaning and when they are made public they make the viewer an accomplice, giving them the power to fabricate ideas, to create meanings. From the poetry that @ti-ty shares today I want to take a fragment:

No, my inner coldness
even protects against
external harshness.
I simply freeze it to pieces...

Having this idea I began to imagine the number of people who are tired, with no place to go, people who at any time of the year, any day of the week or time of the day find in that bench a place of rest. I also thought that many of them in cold seasons, sit there and may have nothing but that bench to spend the night and how many of those nights as cold as the one presented in this image? Freezing nights that have made their hearts manage to fight the cold with more cold so they can feel some warmth. Finding, somehow, a less icy place.

Process

• I started by resizing, brightening and intensifying the image
• I then wanted to show the relevance of the bench in the middle of the snow and used a tool called "Out of focus region".

• To continue I blurred by 4.5% and applied contrast.

• I outlined and applied a reflection effect to create an illusion of ice on the floor.

To finish

• I applied a negative effect in which I inverted the colors and mosaic - In the middle of the bench I lightened a little more to create the sensation of energy, as if part of the essence of those who have passed through there had remained there. The final result is as follows:
