    Continuing our image editing thread, 7th issue already :)

    General rules (unchanged):

    • 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)
    • the edited version gathering most likes within a week or so, wins and its author will start next round

    Editing rules (unchanged):

    • all "normal" adjustments (brightness, colors, 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 object addition or replacement is allowed, non-essential objects may however be removed, and parts of the original image can be "moved" to a different position in the image.
    • generative AI must not be used

    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.
    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.

    Get your images posted by November 6 (I will close contest in the evening in UTC+2 timezone). As always, you can vote during the entire contest plus one day after the image submission deadline.

    How about this? I thought the creatures looked a bit unearthly, so I've put them on a different planet (pink sky) and made it look like they are on an old fashioned TV
