    Continuing the image editing thread, 49th issue.

    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.

    Timing:
    Get your images posted by November 29. As always, you can vote during the entire contest plus one day after the image submission deadline. I'll post reminders.

    The photo:
    The image was taken in last December in Mustio Manor park near Lohja, Southern Finland. It was wet and dripping weather then, let's hope for something different this year :)
    You can find the SOOC jpg image below and here’s a link to the RAW image (Fuji x100v)

    How about this - a crop to get to the subject and then introduce some red into it to complement the green.

    I might still try this in color, but this one speaks to me in B&W. Lightroom...

    The descending mist was achieved in Adobe Camera Raw using the graduated filter set to white!
    I only used Arvo’s jpg file above. Yes, you can edit jpg’s in ACR

    For the vintage color look I ran this old Photoshop action and stopped it at step one!

    An example of a before and after image can be seen here...

    For curious minds… this is the image before running the Photoshop Retro action ↓

    This is a really nice photo. Had I taken it, I'd have processed it like this:

    Here's a try in color, I corrected the typical cool and magenta Auto-WB error that almost always occurs in "the woods", messed with the geometry a bit, and just basically tried to make it look "natural" and bit less gloomy, harsh and crunchy. It doesn't look all that great, but I kinda doubt the original scene did either.

    I haven't had much time to participate in the forum lately, but after the holidays I hope to be back with my regular enthusiasm.
