@D0c.Col no laughing mate, did something different with the picture. Couldn’t see any really enhansable aspect of the main pic so i took a an image shown on the wall at the back, upscaled it and messed about. To me it looks better than the original😁

Thanks for the votes lads, REALLY didn’t think there’d be a chance of winning just threw it in for a laugh tbh.
With any pic I’ll try to enhance it (mostly in the style of my choice that suites me, mostly HDR’d to death, but I don’t really give a toss as long as I’m into it ) If I’m not into the pic I try an do a job on a cropped part,you’ll always find something. That’s what I done with this image, but tbh I thought I’d gone too far with this puppy
What I did.
Cropped the part of what I wanted
Upscaled it x 2
Swapped the sky because it looked meh
Cloned part of the sunset onto the artists board
Give the sand some texture
Sharpened or softened different areas depending.
Did the normal colour stuff.
Ripped an image off Google of an artist in the same pose as the original.
Removed the background of that image, then sharpened and touched up.
Brought in that new image as a new layer on top and placed it so looked like the original.
Probably did some stuff in between all that also, knowing me
I actually like the final image, didn’t think it’d work but nothing ventured nothing gained as the saying goes.
Just dipping in and out of forum at mo as on hols.
