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 #420."
Game ends April 23th at 09:00 AM GMT

Here's my attempt. Added +2 exposure in ACR. Tweaked the blue of the sky to be a bit more vibrant. Used Color Efex Pro 4 with TonalContrast and Center Luminosity adjustments. Then did a slight Blue to Gold/Brown color layer to warm up the image. Used lens correction to straighten it a bit. THen Cropped. Lastly a Levels adjustment layer to slightly give it a bit more 'umph'.

Edit: Almost forgot... I also removed the guy in the lower right area as well.
