survival is living against all odds but its not living to the full
this image show a homeless person with his quilt wrapped around him to keep him warm and the big queen's building that we all working people pay taxes towards it.
the building is large and so does UK have a large problem of homeless. what has changed since the Victorian times
The two images side by side show both are homeless and just surviving, yet at different locations shows different meaning. People are just pasting by. one is in Birmingham city centre and one is from india.
below, the white path, path of hope, dark sky and ground are cold dark days.
same for the beautiful bird, dark ground but white path of hope life. this image is showing surviving and living. even thought we humans have stolen their lands trees etc.,
poor birds looking for food in the middle of the road and a bus is approaching.

unhappy pony, only there human use. The horses will never be free to live in the wild.
The lady turned his face so I could have a good photo, sad, the pony could not move the way it wanted to. Will they ever know what freedom is.
used a curve

Free, the birds are free to life and move in there space.

used a MPP field camera,see image
ABOVE
is a image of the negative
<-------------------------->
cmd---I
Above is negative and below is the picture
above image from negative to positive --- used cmd I vice versa
plus used noise reduction
gave it a smooth look blue - colour balance and brightness & contrast
filter blur, iris blur and field blur
filter blur and iris blur and field blur
and added magenta
tilt and shift
tilt and shift , 2nd attempt, much better
changed colour for vantage look
pixelate ----> mosaic used two layers and soft light

Layer > New adjustment Layer > Black & White.
Either pick it from the Adjustment Panel Tools Palette or go Layer > New adjustment Layer > Curves.
You might be familiar with using the curves tool when editing tones and exposure. You might not know that the curves tool has a pencil which allows you draw your own curve (or lines).
Step 3 - Draw an Inverted V
You then need to draw an inverted V.
Start at the bottom left, click once at output 0, input 0. Then hold down shift and then click again in the center at the top. (output 255, input 127).
Then finish off by clicking the bottom right hand corner.
Step 4 - Tweak
Create another curves layer. This time we are going to use the normal wave tool.
Manipulate the curve to lighten/darken your image. At this stage every single photo will be different.
As you can see in my example I only slightly darkened my image, small bend but a large effect.
Step 5 - Why Stop Now?
Now because we are using digital technology we can also colour the image if we choose to, rather than leave the image a boring B&W.
Duplicated the original image and then place it on top. Change the transfer mode to color. Reduce the opacity if needed, I placed my on around 76%.
Step 6A- An Extra Step
This step is completely optional. I personally think it brings out the lines in the image slightly more than before.
Create a new layer (Layer > New > Layer).
Then go Image > Apply Image. This copies your current work into a single layer.
Head to Filters > Stylize > Glowing Edges. Then copy the settings in the image below.
Step 6B- Inverse
With the layer selected, hit CTRL or CMD + I. This will inverse the layer.
Then change the layer style to multiply. Reduce the opacity to somewhere between 20-50%.
Step 7- Dodge and Burn
On a new layer, apply the image. (Image > apply image).
Use the burn and dodge tools to make the background stand out and keep the subject in focus.
Other Outcomes
This doesn't just work for flowers. Portraits turn out well using same settings.
Image Details: Self Portrait.
Canon 7D, 50mm 1.4F, Flashgun below the chin (hence darker area).
This image was shot against a wooden background with different patches of shadow and light. No colour layer applied.
Image details: Classic Car.
Canon 7D + 18-85mm
For this image the lines were strong enough so I didn't add the glowing lines effect. I also removed the colour from every other object other than the driver (myself) and the car.
With thanks to Harvey Yallop for the image and use of the car.
