This game is to help those of us who are trying to learn new editing tricks.

Here's the breakdown of the game. I have posted a picture, re-sized to exactly 1024 pixels maximum on the long side. Otherwise, this photo was taken from the camera as is and unedited by myself.

The game will last 4 Days (96 hrs) and whoever can produce the best edited image (as judged by me) will be picked and it'll be their turn to post their unedited picture for all of us to take a crack at. I'll show you what I did personally to this photo at the close of the contest.

The participants must have their "Image Editing OK" turned on and they must provide at least a simple breakdown of how they edited the image, some entrants are a little vague on this point, please give us all details so we can learn and share tips. For instance if you use the unsharp mask tool or Smart Sharpen, provide us with the adjustments you used so others can try them out.

You can post multiple images, but the first image you post will be the one that is judged - all other images will be considered for knowledge and tip use only.

Also, please keep all comments, be they positive or negative, to yourself until after the game has ended.

If you happen to be the winner of the game please start the next one with the title of the game and the following number. For example…the next game should read "Before & After #373."

Game ends Wednesday July 3d ( My Bday), 2011 @ 5:00pm EST

As always...have fun and be creative!!!

The goal is not to change your subjects, but for the subject to change the photographer.

You may want to change this to #373, as that is the next one. Someone may accidentally # it wrong.

here's my edit and the lightroom preset I created to do it. rename the .zip to .lrtemplate to get it to work. I had to change it to get it to upload.
Dark profile-items.lrtemplate

I'm taking my bike, my camera, a bottle, and a tent to the lake for a few days. So may not be back when this is done. Happy 4th.

I've always been a photographer, but I haven't always had a camera.
