I have been trying out different editing techniques. I wanted my picture to look like a pencil sketch. Several steps in Photoshop were required to get to this. The original photo is included in the comments.
Here is the original – a grey morning in Fish Creek Park. 1/1600s, f7.1, ISO 800.
Shot at 500 mm using a 100-500 lens on a Canon R5.
Edited in LR, denoised in Topaz photo AI before export to Photoshop to make it look like a pencil drawing.
Wow! Love the result of your pencil sketch conversion.
Here is a link to a youtube tutorial on how to do this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTCX4pMwKAQ
Here are the step by step instructions in written format

With Easter having arrived, I thought chocolate photography might be appropriate. Here is a miniature construction work crew, jack hammering a chocolate arrangement. The scene was composed of 12 focus stacked images. I then tried to graft faces on the workers from self portraits I took in the different positions. By using Photoshop’s free-transform, selection modification and auto-blend I got this result.
I like the light reflections in the ripples
ISO 1250 110mm f7.1 1/4000
An older photo from my archives that i like and seems to fit the challenge. White balance and sharpened in Gimp.
f/3.6, 1/250, iso64
Taken also yesterday at the upper falls in Johnston Canyon.
Photo taken with samsung phone camera.
Another round and curved inspired image: bathroom sink with window reflection. ISO 2500, f/18, 1/125.
More round and curved: saxophone, converted to black and white. ISO 6400, f/10, 1/30.
This photo was taken on an evening channel tour at Tortuguero Costa Rica.
The roundness of the Caiman’s eye and the reflection in the still water caught my attention.
Canon EOS 7D Mark II
f/8, 1/125 sec, iso 1000, and focal of 177
melting ice crystals ISO 200 200mm f7.1 ISO 1100
A miss. A sculpture on the smaller side in front of building on 4th Av and 2nd street. I saw the biker coming at the last minute, tried to re-direct focus point to biker, but missed. It would have been a nice shot if I had got the bike in focus rather than the sculpture. Thought to show it here nonetheless. LR(C) enhanced and cropped
More Curves. Archives…Windsor Station’s Commuter Rail Terminus, Montreal.
I should have specified “approach” to terminus. The platforms are a couple hundred feet or so on the opposite end of the camera position
Archived picture of the skateboard park that has some nice curves and a young man deep in thought. Taken with a 70-300mm lens at f/7.1, 1/600 sec, ISO 100
I have been having fun taking pictures of the icicles melting outside my backdoor. The light that day helped me catch the tiny drops of water. Taken with my 18-55 mm lens at f/4.5, 1/4000 sec, ISO 250
these are some photos I took in nw Calgary the first is north of Big Hill Spring Road down in a valley. I liked the oxbow effect.
I liked Paul’s photo from Red Rock Coulee I have been there so I went into some photos I took about 10 years ago in what I call the Evanston Hoodoos. I replaced the background as the background was washed out.
I like the curves of the Bactrian camels. Taken with a hand held 600mm lens, so I have to shoot at a high shutter speed as the lens is too heavy 1/1000, F6.3, iso 500
The ger camp in the morning light. Taken with my iphone.
