Post-Processing PP Challenge #108

**jmschrei** · 08-23-2013, 06:08 PM

Welcome to the 108th edition of the Post Processing challenge. For this week's round I selected a shot from a few days ago. This was taken on a gorgeous day in a large grasslands park looking down over the city of Calgary. Let's see what you can do! As usual, there are no rules for this challenge and no restrictions on the post processing liberties you may take.

This challenge ends on Saturday, August 31 at midnight MDT (mountain daylight time)

Have fun and good luck to all!

Nice cloud kinda day.
And I like the big dragonfly in the middle of the shot, too bad it wasn't closer.

The white balance, tone-curve and color sure seem wonky, IMO.
Here's what I made of it, I hope you like it.
Thanks for providing the raw file for a challenge.

Thanks Joe.

I had a hard time finding a crop that looked balanced. I think this one works.

I was expecting to see a few more entries with this being the weekend. We need a few more to make it a little more challenging for Joe to judge.

Used a gradient to saturate the sky a bit more than is proper

Let's go B&W on an amazing city skyline.

Some great entries so far. This competition runs through Saturday so lots of time yet to have a stab at interpreting this scene!

A little over 10 hours to go on this if anyone is inclined to through in a last minute entry...
