First, let me show you the original photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/enlighten-upmedia.com\/wlfa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/HOBART_S_0085-1024x667.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/enlighten-upmedia.com\/wlfa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/HOBART_S_0085-1024x667.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/enlighten-upmedia.com\/wlfa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/HOBART_S_0085-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/enlighten-upmedia.com\/wlfa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/HOBART_S_0085-768x501.jpg 768w, https:\/\/enlighten-upmedia.com\/wlfa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/HOBART_S_0085.jpg 1482w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe this was originally a slide of his that I had digitized many years ago.  I think all of the black marks are scratches, so I got in Photoshop and cleaned it up.  Then, I noticed the image was quite small so I went into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topazlabs.com\/gigapixel?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=S-Google-REM-Brand-BRD&amp;attribution=true&amp;g_acctid=883-417-5396&amp;g_adgroupid=115851066361&amp;g_keyword=topaz%20labs%20gigapixel%20ai&amp;g_campaign=S-PROS-Brand-TopCountries&amp;g_campaignid=10023069988&amp;g_adid=475915024441&amp;g_network=g&amp;g_adtype=search&amp;g_keywordid=kwd-942975175378&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwodC2BhAHEiwAE67hJDkbY8LkP51P-B7snSyMJyUiBcGqlML2uKliRepVxSvlE-qXy0CDDxoCWAsQAvD_BwE\">Gigapixel by Topaz Labs<\/a> and made it bigger so I could work with it.  Next, I thought the sky was a bit boring so I switched that out.  I also cropped it to a square because I really prefer working with squares.  I didn&#8217;t care for the trees, etc on the right side so I just cropped that out.  After that, there were just some color adjustments and retouching and then using some filters to make it look like a painting and I added in the birds because I felt like it needed a secondary subject.  I think it came out looking good, albeit simple.  Hope you enjoy it!<\/p>\n<input class=\"fooboxshare_post_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"670\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This one was interesting.
