    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.

    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 gathering most likes wins and its author will start next round, unless they would prefer to pass the torch to someone else.
    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 from the the photos receiving the most votes.

    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. Generative remove is OK.

    Timing:

    Get your images posted by September 15th. There will be an extra day after that just for voting.

    The Photo:

    On a trip to Iceland you need a 4x4 to survive the gravel roads and have some fun while driving through rivers. 😊
    This car, with its impressive plume of volcanic ash, was catching the sunlight while driving up the next hill.
    See if your edit can convey the spirit of adventure in that barren landscape

    The RAW image is in this dropbox link

    ... and here's the JPG

    Not an easy one. Here's my first try. B&W and try and put some contrast into the picture & the sky.

    Not the easiest one to sort out, but I like it a lot. The sky is weird and has a geometry and color kinda at odds with the rest of the image, but that's what makes it interesting.

    ...And the winner is,.... @in2lapland
    Congratulations, your edit, of this rather difficult image is good. It concentrates on the minimum amount of elements, and has a great contrast that emphasizes the sunlit plume and the road that winds its way up the hill.

    So, over to you to host the next challenge.

    And thanks also to the others that submitted edits. There were some good ones !

    Trevor
