It’s the start of a new month in the One Four photo edit challenge, and time to choose a new image. After much deliberation, I’ve gone for something a bit different for me – flowers.
I came across these flowers on a walk in Hyde Park on a very hot and very sunny evening. The low, bright sun was both a delight and a challenge.
This month, I am going to start with a highly edited, artistic version of the original. You will have to wait till next week to get an idea of what the original shot looked like.
I made a few basic edits in Lightroom, then used FotoSketcher to give a pencil sketch effect. I hope this has whetted your appetite – see you next week.

I have to delve more deeply into fotosketcher. I love what you’ve done here but it’s hard to say which week’s version I like the best. I’ll wait till next week to make my mind up! 🙂 Great work!

I’m not really a fan of the super bright white hi key effect myself, so I look forward to your other variations 😜

Not sure where I’ll go with it yet. I’ll have to work hard to resist more arty effects.
