Many thanks for all the entries. I'll post some comments on selected images later today
And here is the winning image from minniev
Thank you dear people and thanks to Fireplace for a lovely starter image. I'm "on the road" but will get home this afternoon or evening and will post something for you to play with.
Thanks once again for all your entries, I wasn't sure if a bracketed 3-shot-set would be popular in the weekly edit-me-an-image , but you you managed to deal with it really well and perhaps enjoyed the extra challenge.
Here's some comments from selected edits:
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 then I noticed this object at the bottom left, so I've made that stand out a bit. This is the result.
yep, it was all the mist in the trees, and all the mist pouring down the cliff face and then swirling around in the air that originally caught my attention, especially as it was all lit up by the sun which is just out of the image, top right.
Your edit has made all that nicely visible and also highlighted the bright roof of the building on the left hand side.
The crop has put more focus on all this, which is good, but somehow I miss the bright grass all covered in dew and also shining in the sun.
Electrified
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
That's a good title for this version!
At first I thought it was just way over the top, but it does grow on you and then it looks good and there's definitely a place where this would fit in well on the wall, maybe a modern cafe ? it was one of the joint 2nd place runner ups!
I made an HDR combo and then in capture One, made some local adjustments.
I decided to edit a little further lightening and cropping abit
This works well, nice and bright and the grassy field is still there :-)
Awakening
DXO Photolabs, color adjustments, dynamic adjustments, local exposure adjustments, crop
A similar good crop to your first edit but this time more relalistic
Light
This is probably the most realistic version, gently done and subtle. Not as much punch as some of the other edits, but do we always need so much "punch"?
FIRE!
An interesting and different take on the image. Not my favourite but it got 3 votes and so came in as a joint 2nd place runner up!
Not sure what the subject is but I did like the grass:
Three GIMP layers and two masks. Shoulda feathered the sky mask, duh.
As you mentioned, the dark blue edge at the top of the cloud bank probbaly came from the lack of feathering in that edit layer and sort of spoils the result. Interesting but not my favourite.
Found in the attic
DXO Photolab preprocessing, evaluating NIK collection - NIK 7 Analog Efex. B&W looked better than purple :)
The first B&W entry. The processing fits well to the image and your title. Good edit!
Larger than life
Edited far away from reality, and also a bit dark which sort of detracts from the result for me, since I was there and saw the original.
But for someone that didn't see the real view, this might still be a good image.
This week I tried a black and white first. In Silver Efex. Found some rays hiding in the top right...
This second B&W version works well, with its subtle and gentle treatment making the fine whispy clouds and mist look great
And my last go - Replace the sjy with something more dramatic whioch leadsd your eyes to the mountain and trees.
I much prefer this one to your previous version with the strong vignette, It's well done, but the very dramatic new sky here in this image is not my cup of tea here, because although well done, the original sky was already dramatic
2nd attempt
I think this second attempt of yours, with a little more punch, is the better version of those two
I'll add in the comments for the last 3 images later, I have to leave now :-)
I had to leave in the middle of writing the comments to the #17 edit me an image.
Here' the comments to the last three.
An interesting, perhaps even an "old fashioned" colour scheme here? An effective crop too turning it into a portrait mode.
A crop and some color work in mobile ap iColorama, one of my strangest mobile apps, it defies description and understanding, and there is no manual or guide. It's also free, I think. I've never paid anything for it.
Whatever the app did the result has subdued the colours as if it were a print that's been hanging for many years on a "Gasthaus" wall in a small Austrian village ;-)
And finally the winner from minniev...
"Light and airy"
True to the given title and a worthy winner
Hope you all enjoyed playing with this starter image :-)
