    That was a surprise, winning number 21. thanks Erik.

    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 March 24th. After that, 2 days to vote and decide which is best.

    You can vote during the entire contest plus two days after the image submission deadline.
    I'll post reminders.

    In January, I went over to York and found the street shown below. I took the picture because of the coloured tables, but looking at it, there are a number of different ways of looking at it. So, what do you think? Can you find the perfect image from this shot? The RAW file can be found here. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mfl2hyg2oatc79l4qffw6/ADCF0056.RAF?rlkey=gpigxehr300lq4lg7h78lmggg&dl=1

    [edit] - I've been playing with this picture for ages. When the time comes and voting has finished, I'll upload my attempts with my reasons for doing it.

    Here's a B&W attempt to exploit the texture. I'll probably have a go with color at some point too. Edited in Lightroom. Choosing a satisfying crop proved a bit difficult for me, nothing seemed "just right" (still isn't). I monkeyed with the geometry a little and went with a balance of the three chimneys.

    I'm not sure why, but I fancied an oil painting look for this one...

    Same here - there is just too little space left above the chimney.
    But we have to work with what we have, this the point here :)

    Well, I just took the liberty to expand the sky the old fashioned way.

    And then there's a monochrome take on it. In this one I found the writing on the sign a distraction so I got rid of it.

    And for a radically different version, I got rid of the tables, by dragging pieces of the building and road around to cover them up. A heavy crop, color work, then a trip through JixiPix for some artistic processing, and a texture overlay. jADCF0056.jpg

    Don't forget, you don't have to wait until the end to post your 'likes'. I've seen some fantastic images so far (I am not sure I am allowed to vote).

    You are totally allowed to vote. You may defer your votes up to final day however - to not bias future submissions to your liking :)

    Same crop as my first submission, but this one's in color. I just tried to make it look as I imagined the original scene might have in somewhat better light, and kept it as natural as possible. Not a fake sky. Lightroom.
