This is my scavenger hunt contribution to the "Letter H" category.
I had to think for a while about this category, and finally decided to get a macro shot of a random paragraph in the daily newspaper.

Then it was a simple PP in CS.
I Created a second layer, and applied a 27% gaussian blur. Then the fairly lengthy process of using a soft edged eraser tool to recover every letter H.
I then wanted to give the letter H a different colour. Using the gradient map tool I created a few different highlighted colours, This is my favourite.
I took 5 different shots from the newspaper, and repeated the process on each image.
This image has more of the letter H than any of the others, and took the longest to PP, so this is the one I'll post.

I hope you like the results of this experiment.

Thanks for looking, have a great end to the week.

Alan,
Nice PP work. I appreciate good, intensive Photoshop work. I know how difficult it is starting out with a picture and coming up with something "exciting" graphically. Looks like you got some good results. Congrats and Good luck in the Challenge.

Now i understand the Davinci Code.... It was only refering about Hash. Wow! It was a big storie for not a big thing :)

Sériously it's cause i was just read a person had resume that Davinci code and it was suppose to be just a little joke. I text you say something as "You are not big as you think"

Now the real critic... I find it very well realised! It a good treatment to make it in aristic look!

Bravo Alan!

I really like this, I like how you realized it, too. the blured words with the outstanding hs. The angle works just great!

Annetta
