    Continuining the popular weekly “Edit me an image” thread, #17

    General rules:

    • A previous round winner presents a busy or just not so interesting image, having at least some potential for different crops or visions.
    • Anyone (except author of original image) can edit the presented image, up to three distinct edits in separate posts are permitted.
    • All edits must be based on original image, not on another people's edits (of course borrowing ideas would not be a problem).
    • Short explanations about your editing intentions are encouraged, but not required.

    Once the deadline for images has been reached, no new image versions will be accepted. Questions and (polite) discussions of techniques are welcome, so that we can learn from one another how certain edits were achieved.
    The edited version with most likes, wins and its author will start next round.
    On the closing day for voting, if there is a draw in the number of likes for two or more edits, then the person that posted the original image will decide the winner.

    Editing rules:

    • All "normal" adjustments (brightness, colours, curves etc) are permitted (both local and global ones).
    • All geometric adjustments (perspective, cropping etc) are permitted.
    • Artistic effects (brushes, textures etc) are allowed.
    • No additions or replacements may be made to the main subject matter of the image; non-essential objects may be removed, and parts of the original image can be "moved" to a different position in the image. Sky replacements are OK unless the sky is the main subject. (We are still refining this rule).
    • Generative AI must not be used

    Timing:
    Get your images posted by Feb 5.
    As always, you can vote during the entire contest plus one day after the image submission deadline.
    I'll post reminders.

    The photo:
    I called this shot “Morning drama at the Gössler wall”.
    The drama comes because when the sun, rises up from behind the huge mountain wall, it already has quite a lot of power and begins to vigorously drive the morning mist out of the valley. It was the view we had each day from our hotel window in the little village of Gössl, between the two lakes Grundlsee and Toplitzsee in Styria, Austria. You can also see the many dew drop still hanging in the grass and meadow flowers in the foreground.

    Normally, I only photograph in RAW but for some reason for this shot I only had it in JPG :-(
    But, I did take 3 hand held bracketed jpg shots with different exposures.
    You can use anyone of these jpgs, or combine them all as you please, to squeeze the best out of it.

    I displayed my result in an exhibition about 3 years ago, let’s see what you can make out of it😊
    Good luck!

    Here is the Dropbox link to all 3 bracketed jpgs images

    Here's my first attempt. I wanted to get a feeliing of the mist in the trees, so i've enhanced the exposure coming down the mountain on the left and in the trees in the foreground. I got rid of a lot of the grass at the front. I thenk noticed this object at the bottom left, so I've made that stand out a bit. This is the result.

    DXO Photolabs, Kodachrome rendering, color adjustments, Corel PSP HDR merge (I have so far not understood, what it does - result is certainly not resembling original image and I had to decrease saturation afterwards), crop, best seen in full screen

    My second attempt. I wanted to bring out the sky and clouds but also wanted to reduce the effect of the grass in front. So, I applied a linear gradient to darkey the grass at the front while keeping it the same as it got nearer to the tree line.

    For the stky and stuff, I adjusted the saturation, tint & temp to bring out the blue. Then, to focus on the centre of the picture, I applied a vignette. And here it is
