Creative Photo Editing Challenge #1

[Camilla and Darwin]

Hey everyone! So I've been seeing some editing challenges online that look like a ton of fun. I thought we could do it here too!

Here is how it works. I'll post a photo - an unedited photo. Then everyone can do an edit of it with whatever program, or in whatever style they choose. Be creative! Use textures, crops, words added, black and white, combining two photos, something basic, etc. The sky is the limit! 

Here is the photo to edit. I will try to get a better starting point for the next challenge, but I thought this one was neutral, and could go in quite a few directions.

And my edit:

Remember to click for the large size, then save that and edit.

So, let's see your edits!!

Will do when I can. But most of us need simple stuff not major challenges I think. Weren't you going to do some lesson? I think maybe how to use actions.

[Camilla and Darwin]

Well, I guess the idea of this discussion is that everyone can edit it however they want, at whatever level they want. I didn't intend this to be a training assignment, this is more about being creative and having fun. 

I don't see how I could do an actions assignment honestly, they all vary in how you use them, not to mention that the download and installation seems to be what is most challenging for people and that is not something I can help with unfortunately. I'm not a computer tech. :-) 

I could do another assignment, I think I was going to do one on Photoshop Tools? I will work on that.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Good. There' sonny seventy two or something : )
Yes, fun will be good for this assignment.

[DJ & Chance]

What fun!  Here is a very different rendering of the image, but alas my creativity is limited by my primitive photoshop skills!

[Camilla and Darwin]

This is cool, I love the clarity you added!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I like that you made the focal point the sunrise.  I kept debating between the sunrise and the children with the balloons.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Very nice drastic effect!

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

Nice edit DJ.

[Elizabeth, Bailey & Bruin]

This is really cool looking...

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

Seems like my comment got lost (?) -- oh well, what I said was -- I really like this DJ. Love the stronger contrast!

[DJ & Chance]

Happens to me too often!  Thanks.

[Jean, Rylee and Cooper]

Really pretty!
