The game will last 4 Days 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.

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 #415."
Game ends Monday, March 19, at 7:30 PM Eastern Standard Time

Yeah…I was at a total loss of what to do with this photo, so I decided to do some home repairs. Probably not really what you had in mind, but that’s okay; I like to think outside of the box sometimes ;)

DPP – adjusted brightness, white balance, contrast, saturation, and sharpness

PS – cloning…lots of cloning (roof, branches, windows [moved apart], grass, exterior paint [cloned from the top corner of the original wall’s paint]), inserted doors, windows, and front lawn from other photos. Slight levels adjustment, then cropped.

Sorry got tied up yesterday and didn't get a chance to rate these...

All good edits!

I Tony, I like your take on it except for the lens flare, just doesn't fit right with the picture in my opinion. Like how you blended the colors on the right side in, looks very realistic

blkjpg - um :) very good work but it looks cartoonish almost and took away from the bleakness of the pic.

yb98 love the way you did this, blending in the Little House people just fits the picture, not sure if this is the house they would live in though :)

Thanks everyone, yb98 is the winner!
