Not quite so hot a gallery as last week: indeed, is that just the time
of year but little interest in reviews either ...

Lovely.
At last a "bug*ered about" image from Chris I can truly enthuse about. Thanks
Am I really looking at a photo or a pixel painting though?  It says
"hand coloured" yet is seems very very little of the original photo
remains.

I really would like to see a procession of how this was done:
the original photo
the reduced version before hand colouring
some explanation of how - what digital tools / actions were involved.
Are the hard black lines also drawn on or are they the  result of some
filter?

It really is more a piece of art than a mere photograph -
If it is all automatic then at last the filters have produced
something that looks man made.
To me I can see human intervention / choice in the finished product.

Well done Chris (at last). Well thats nice of you... 

Now just tell us how.

 
Simple!
First I did the usual perspective and distortion correction.  Then:
Lines from "Find Edges" Photoshop Filter. Then
Just hand coloured using Photoshop paintbrush using the wacom pen tool instead of mouse.
 
Now you'll all be doing it.  I suppose I should keep it a secret, but that is something I cannot do.  I'm a compulsive communicator as I have been instructing students for  25 years until I retired in 1999.  So Just can't help it!
 
Chris.
