The Editing Challenge Thread

Why?: So we all know no we shoot thing differently. But a huge part about Digital photography is post work and editing. We all have different ways of doing it just like we shoot things differently. I thought it might be cool to try and do any editing challenge

How it works: There will be a link posted in the OP every week..or every two weeks, I haven't decided on a time line yet. Maybe a month or something. But in the link it'll be a download like probably by Dropbox to a RAW camera file. You can edit it HOWEVER YOU WANT! just post up your final result in the thread when you are done.

Boring rules(PLEASE READ):

1. There are no rules on how to edit the photo
2. 1 Photo per person
   
3. Previous winner will be the judge and will pick a new winner.
   
4. Each winner must then upload one of their own photos to be edited.
   
5. DO NOT PARTICIPATE IF YOU DO NOT WANT PEOPLE EDITING YOUR PHOTOS! By downloading and uploading a version of your edit you are saying you are okay with winning, thus you must submit a new photo for us to edit for the next challenge
   
6. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY ITS YOUR PHOTO AFTER YOU HAVE EDITED IT! Please respect the photographers here. You didn't take it. Its not your photo.
   
7. Please keep image sizes around 1200 max pixels
8. It would be nice if all photos shared where RAW or TIFF and not jpegs
9. You can pick ANY photo you want to be edited. It can be something shot great or something very under or over exposed.
   

Additional rules may be added at anytime.



I think this will be fun as we all see different things and all edit very differently.

Glad people like the idea. I can't wait. Ill post the original during judging too as in how I edited it.
