The "Tuesday" threw me off, I guess the date is still correct.

Again, I’m thankful for these bi/tri weekly contests, as it gives me chance to learn more about Photoshop and to try some zany crap outside of my normal post processing. It’s fun

• Cut out most of the stuff in the picture (water, bushes, back ground building, etc)
  
• Cut and paste of the stone building, horizontal flip.
  
• Added lots of rocks along the front waterline.
  
• Pasted whirlpool.
  
• Pasted bonsai tree, lots of erasing and so forth.
  
• Sunset pasted, adjusted.
  
• Went nuts with curves, levels, and saturation across the various levels.
  

Sorry to make this short y'all. It's been a busy day and I'm going to pick the winner so that the next one can start. Also apologize about the confusion with the day. ^_^ I'm going to pick monty28428 as the winner. I like the contrast and the way you were able to bring out the image. Great job everyone.

Nice work Monty, and esteemed colleagues!

Great Job Monty! Nice edits everyone.

Congrats Monty. Just curious...how come these are lasting so long?

Thanks Kyle!

Some great edits here everybody! I really liked the job Ed and Stacy did in particular.

Stacy - this contest was originally a week long and then shortened to two days, and then later extended to three days in an attempt to get more participation.

Let me go find one to post up...

New one's up -> B&A 184

Great job everyone! Congrats Monty!
