Lomo-Like Photo

[MikeJohnson]

I have just started using Photoshop and have found the tutorials on this forum to be very helpful. Here is my first attempt at producing a Lomo-like photo. I actually think it turned out pretty good. What do you think?

Quite honestly, Mike, I like the original so much that I can't imagine any pp'ing that would / could make it any more beautiful. The colors are glorious!

I like the original photo better. Great colors.

Yup the original is a wonderfully warm shot - the second just makes it seem cold.

I like lomo taken with a lomo camera but I have only seen a few shots that were improved by being lomo'ed. This isn't one of them. Love the original, the processed is just OK!

Ok I'll admit it. I like the original better too. I just thought that the colorful photo of the sunflowers would be a good one to try this technique on. I'm new at Photoshop, so I get really excited when I am able to get a specifiic technique right. I think this shows that the tutorial in the forum are first rate. Thanks everyone for the tutorials and keep them coming!
