    I don’t think this is the right recipe just by reading it (there is no door or no parking sign, and no grafitti)

    Definitely not the right recipe for this image. No parking sign, no graffiti but most of all the bride is NOT wearing cons, LOL. But I love this image, where is the recipe for it!

    I’m glad some folks like my shot. This definitely is not the recipe for my image. I’m just going off the top of my head, but basically I ran super old school, then reduced the black and white layer till I liked it. I also masked the old school blur around the bride. Used green with envy on the plants and big blue on the sky. I also used oh-snap on the people to bring the out more and finished it off with dirty birdie and a custom grunge layer. I think that’s about right.
