I went on a trip, the weather was lousy, I shot lousy pictures. I decided to play a bit and came up wit this... CCs welcome!

    They have this x-ray/night vision vibe. They are really cool! Whatever one can say about them, word 'lousy' won't be one of them! Cheers!

    These catch your attention. The second seems to need a crop down from the top.
    As to the "squares" in the background, if you are using PS, might try Filter >Blur> Gaussian Blur (on a background copy layer) to "dissolve" the subtle lines with then adding a layer mask to bring back as much resolution as you want wherever you choose.
    I agree with Taz, nothing that resembles "lousy" here to be found

    Thank you Wayne for showing me how to do this. Your edit was very good. I'm going to attempt my own right now. Again, many thanks.clap.gif

    Cristóbal, I had a very nice image from which to start! You are much too kind!

    Take care!

    Here is a rework of #2 following Wayne's advice (not to the letter I admit...)

    you might like to try slight sepia nuance on one

    A real good direction for creativity
