    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.

    Less of the storm, more of the high-key appearance. May need some border in future versions.

    Quick edit as my first try. This one took quite a lot to pull out something I liked due to the palette being a bit buried in all that snow!

    I actually avoided any denoising at all. Worked with the colors, moved the shadows and highlights around, and pushed on the colors a bit. Worked with the microcontrast (but not global) to push down the airborne snow a bit. Then I applied a Fuji Velvia 100 color tuning and really liked it. Cropped it to 4:3 because I didn't like any squares I found, and that let me anchor the image with the houses, foreground horizon, and mountains on the 1/3 sightlines.

    The image is intentionally a mix of balanced and unbalanced perspectives here. I like the slope from left to right and the countered ridgeline giving a sense of visual tension that might be hard to place.
