Before & After #314. This game is to help those trying to learn new editing tricks.

Here's a breakdown of the game. I will post a picture, re-sized to exactly 1024 pixels maximum on the long side. Outside of being re-sized it has to be unedited...meaning no adjustments to any levels, it has to look like it did as it came out of the camera.

The game will last 72hrs 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. Contest will end

Thursday 4:00pm est

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 #314".

Off my back deck
Please remember to re-size your entry to 1024 pixels on the long side...

First attempt at artificial bokeh
Cut out deer, rough rubber stamp of background over deer shape so gaussian blur did not bleed the deer into the background - added a little light green then paste back deer, flatten, shight contrast enhancement with "curves" + touch up.:)

:D Thank you ALL!

I'm very excited, not to mention surprised, to win my first POTN competition.

Oh dear! That means I have to choose the next one! Even worse I have to decide a winner.

Here goes: I was thinking of doing something a bit challenging, but in the end I chose something fairly conventional. I hope you like it.

Here is the next one: https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=932800
