Continuining the popular weekly “Edit me an image” thread, #17
General rules:
- A previous round winner presents a busy or just not so interesting image, having at least some potential for different crops or visions.
- Anyone (except author of original image) can edit the presented image, up to three distinct edits in separate posts are permitted.
- All edits must be based on original image, not on another people's edits (of course borrowing ideas would not be a problem).
- Short explanations about your editing intentions are encouraged, but not required.
Once the deadline for images has been reached, no new image versions will be accepted. Questions and (polite) discussions of techniques are welcome, so that we can learn from one another how certain edits were achieved.
The edited version with most likes, wins and its author will start next round.
On the closing day for voting, if there is a draw in the number of likes for two or more edits, then the person that posted the original image will decide the winner.
Editing rules:
- All "normal" adjustments (brightness, colours, curves etc) are permitted (both local and global ones).
- All geometric adjustments (perspective, cropping etc) are permitted.
- Artistic effects (brushes, textures etc) are allowed.
- No additions or replacements may be made to the main subject matter of the image; non-essential objects may be removed, and parts of the original image can be "moved" to a different position in the image. Sky replacements are OK unless the sky is the main subject. (We are still refining this rule).
- Generative AI must not be used
Timing:
Get your images posted by Feb 5.
As always, you can vote during the entire contest plus one day after the image submission deadline.
I'll post reminders.
The photo:
I called this shot “Morning drama at the Gössler wall”.
The drama comes because when the sun, rises up from behind the huge mountain wall, it already has quite a lot of power and begins to vigorously drive the morning mist out of the valley. It was the view we had each day from our hotel window in the little village of Gössl, between the two lakes Grundlsee and Toplitzsee in Styria, Austria. You can also see the many dew drop still hanging in the grass and meadow flowers in the foreground.
Normally, I only photograph in RAW but for some reason for this shot I only had it in JPG :-(
But, I did take 3 hand held bracketed jpg shots with different exposures.
You can use anyone of these jpgs, or combine them all as you please, to squeeze the best out of it.
I displayed my result in an exhibition about 3 years ago, let’s see what you can make out of it😊
Good luck!
