Before and After - The Weekly Editing Challenge
...now compiled into a single, easy to locate thread, that can be added to your subscribe/follow list!
Rules are simple:
- Download the image file from the current week
- Contestants will have 7 days to edit the image and post their edited version to the thread (as many entries as you like)
- The owner of the original image will choose a winner
- The winner will copy & paste this post and include a new downloadable image link
The new image must be unedited / SOOC (straight out of camera), full-resolution, and in a RAW format, ie. CR2, DNG, TIF, etc
(Dropbox works well for uploading and linking these large files)
The purpose of this game is to be creative and learn new editing techniques. You must give some insight into exactly how you went about editing the image. For example, increased shadows sliders, reduced highlights, local sharpening, white balance adjustment, specific filters used, tone curve adjustments, etc. Comments and/or questions regarding the edits are encouraged.
HERE IS THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE

FYI, this was originally one of 3 images taken for a panorama as I only had the 100-400 II with me.
