Tribute to Adolfo


Two years ago, with the permission of the photographers, I did a watercolor treatment of these photos in photoshop. I hope those that saw these initially indulge me for bringing them back again.

Thanks again to Pomano, Natalie Ann, and Cardon for allowing me to play with their great shots of Adolfo. He truly was an Icon of Mulege.

They were great the first time around, and they are still great the second time around, and will continue to be great the next time!

They were all very good photos and you did a wonderful job with the photoshop.

Roger and Diane,

Thanks. I too saw Adolfo many times but unfortunately never got a shot of him. One big regret.

Ken

Some of the most subtle and artistic use of watercoloring in Photoshop I have ever seen. Nice work!

htnfool,

Glad you enjoyed the pictures. They are photographs that were taken by Nomads. Then I, with photo editing software, worked with them to creat an image that is similar to a watercolor.

Here is a before and after of the first image.




I cropped the image to bring the subject in and to the left of center. Then in about five steps, applied a filter which creates a painted effect, and boosted the contrast to give it some depth.
