Here is my contribution, hope y'all like it.
The steps I took:
1. Opened in camera raw mode.
2. Turned up the contrast.
3. Opened in PS
4. Copied the BG layer, converted to BW turned the yellows more to the dark side.
5. Applied a sepia via the BW settings.
6. Copied layer 1
7. Applied a lens blur and masked out the parts I wanted in focus to layer 1. Somewhat as Zim did. ( BTW, His post inspired me to do this. Thanks Zim!)
8. Flattened image
9. Copied BG
10. Applied a radial blur centered on the building.
11. Applied black layer
12. Erased the black in the areas I didn’t want it
13. Turned the opacity down to about 20% or so to create a vignette of sorts then flattened and saved.
When I saw this I immediately thought western… Dunno why but I imagined Jesse James or one of the Younger brothers hiding out there. BTW, I LOVE the squirrel... LOL. Great exercise.
