This image by Rodion Kutsaiev on Pexels caught my eye. Thought it might be fun to see just what could be done with it. ![](https://i.ibb.co/hcq56t8/pexels-frostroomhead-7911758.jpg)

If anything, hosting the EP Challenge has taught me to expect the unexpected. Thanks for getting this started, Jim. I hope that stairway isn't too steep!

I used the original image more as a template around which I built the scene. All additions from Hiclipart. The Happy Couple ![](https://i.ibb.co/wwRs4Zw/The-Happy-Couple.jpg)

Had to see what Adobe Firefly would do using this image as the reference and telling it what to create using it (see file name for that info) ![](https://i.ibb.co/5rHqTDW/Firefly-woman-in-long-white-dress-standing-at-the-entrance-to-a-cave-with-mountains-in-background.jpg) Tony

I used the original image more as a template around which I built the scene. Beautiful interpretation, Lillias. The grey elements really make the couple stand out.

Thanks for showing your Firefly creation, Tony. I especially like the way it used blocks to form the platform without that being part of your description.

Converted the arch to B/W, duplicated and merged. Used a solid color adjustment layer to create the sabattier effect. Added a magician Photo by Tima Miroshnichenko of Pexels. ![](https://i.ibb.co/ZHYGsdN/EP-1.jpg)

Added flower shop elements from StockSolo. Took a copy of the final edit into Topaz Impression and used an adjusted Impasto preset. Layered this over the original and did a bit of masking. ![](https://i.ibb.co/Cby8VX7/EP-2-c.jpg)
