This game is to help those of us who are trying to learn new editing tricks.

Here's the breakdown of the game. I will post a picture, re-sized to exactly 1000 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 4 Days (96 hrs) 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 #340.

This game ends January 27th at 7 pm GMT.

Here's a link to a larger photo.

used multiple layers and circular gradients to try and bring light out of the lamppost and have it fall off behind the rider.

Fun picture! :)

Straightened, cropped for cyclist placement, Large (100) radius USM for contrast and color pop. Duplicate layer at 25% opacity with "trace edges" filter for a bit of a painted feel. Probably went overboard as usual..

Thanks guys - nice set of edits here.

Lore - good b&w and sharpening - like it.
mfiery - interesting selective colouring but a bit dark bottom LH for me.
surgeonhawkeye - my kind of colour boost there and well cropped
tkbslc - just about how I ended up with it myself so on that basis you're my winner for this one.
Runner up Lore for a great b&w

Over to you tkbslc

Oh, I won? :)

Personally I liked Lore's monochrome the best. I'll have #340 up in a jiffy.
