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 and/or techniques are encouraged, but not required.
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..
- Generative AI must not be used.
Timing:
Get your images posted by July 7. As always, you can vote during the entire contest plus one day after the image submission deadline. I'll post reminders.
