Ok so I was bored

Well the roast is prepared so I thought I would mess around with my photo software adding effects to pictures of some previous work for leaflets etc. Any way here are a few early attempts at messing up some perfectly good photo's

That first one in particular is really good, right in character with the piece, Can just imagine it in an old book of vintage artifacts.

I, too, particularly like the first one, especially for the little remnant of colour that shows through. I also like the last one (this is beginning to sound like an advert for Lidl), but the middle of the three doesn't do it for me.

Mark,

Mess away, a restricted colour pallet makes things look so much more dramatic.

And I'm also loving the first photo, the charred effect in B&W stands out so well.

Thank you all for your interest and comments, much appreciated.
